The long wait is officially over — Loudoun County’s newest Chipotle Mexican Grill opened its doors today.
The new location is at the Dulles Landing retail center near Loudoun County Parkway and Highway 50.
When The Burn stopped by over the noon hour, the place was nearly packed.
We say a “long wait” because The Burn first broke the news way back in March 2022 that Chipotle was possibly exploring a location at the center.
With the new store, there are at least nine Chipotles in Loudoun County, but this is the first one aimed at serving the South Riding community and surrounding neighborhoods.
The Chipotle is located in a free-standing building next door to the Walmart store at Dulles Landing.
It includes a Chipotlane” — a drive-thru lane where customers who pre-order on the brand’s app can pick up their food.
Note: It’s not a traditional drive-thru lane like at McDonald’s. You can’t order food from the drive-thru — only pick it up.
