Chipotle Mexican Grill has officially opened its doors at the Thompson Creek Shopping Center, introducing its innovative Chipotlane drive-thru concept to the area. Located at 373 Thompson Creek Rd, this 2,228-square-foot repurposed space replaces a former KFC and marks a significant milestone in the shopping center’s growth as a regional retail destination.
The Chipotlane format, launched in 2018, offers a seamless pick-up experience for digital orders, catering to customers and delivery drivers alike. This model has consistently driven higher volumes and greater returns compared to traditional Chipotle restaurants.
Collin Mercier and George Shenas of Hyatt Commercial played a key role in bringing Chipotle to this prime location. When the KFC franchisee announced the closure of its Kent Island location, Mercier and Shenas quickly reached out to Chipotle’s representatives. Negotiations moved swiftly, culminating in an agreement that enabled Chipotle to open within 12 months of the former tenant’s departure.
“What makes this deal particularly exciting is how quickly we identified Chipotle’s interest and secured their commitment,” said George Shenas of Hyatt Commercial. “This addition not only strengthens the tenant mix but also positions Thompson Creek Shopping Center as a must-visit regional destination.”
Chipotle joins a strong tenant lineup at Thompson Creek Shopping Center, including outparcels such as Starbucks, Advance Auto Parts, and McDonald’s, as well as in-line tenants like Ace Hardware, Dollar Tree, Sports Clips, the U.S. Post Office, among other national franchises.
Collin Mercier and George Shenas represented the landlord in this transaction, while Chipotle was represented by the Segall Group.
