It doesn’t matter where you are, on Broad Street in Downtown Philadelphia, on the Strip in Las Vegas, near the University district in New York City, or at the intersection of Fowler and Bruce B Downs, whenever you see the red banner; you immediately want to go inside. Chipotle, the indisputably best Mexican chain restaurant in the United States, has a very diverse fan base who all share the same love for their simplistic menu. Whether you are ordering a burrito, a burrito bowl, or tacos, the fresh food lights a fire in your mouth and makes a smile in your heart.

The closest Chipotle to Freedom High students is at the intersection of Bruce B Downs and Fowler. This is the Chipotle frequented by the students of the University of South Florida, and is often very crowded at the lunch, and dinner hours.  There is no Chipotle around the New Tampa area, and customers often have to drive in traffic to arrive at the University Chipotle.

I am suggesting that we bring a Chipotle to the New Tampa area. There are several high school students at Freedom who are frequent customers, and who share a love for the burrito. If a Chipotle is constructed in New Tampa, profit would not be an issue as there is a rabid fan base in the New Tampa area, and it would become a mainstay on the local food scene.

Obviously one of the major concerns in the construction of a Chipotle in the New Tampa Area is the location of Moe’s and Tijuana Flats in New Tampa. I believe that if a Chipotle is built around Cross Creek, or even further down into Wiregrass area, there would be no conflict. Around Wiregrass, there are several burger restaurants like Burger 21, and Burgermonger, but there is no predominant Mexican restaurant. I believe that implementation of a Chipotle in that are will serve to the benefit of its fan base, the company, and would greatly benefit the New Tampa area.
