WASHINGTON — Chipotle Mexican Grill will start delivering food to students at select college campuses this fall — and a handful of Maryland schools are on the list for the service.
Through a partnership with Tapingo, a mobile commerce app that provides food pickup and delivery, Chipotle will be available for delivery through Tapingo at 40 college campuses throughout the U.S.
This fall, students at Johns Hopkins University, Loyola University Maryland, Towson University and University of Maryland will have access to the Chipotle delivery service. One hundred new campuses will be added by spring 2016.
“Chipotle has been popular with students going back to our very first restaurant near the University of Denver,” Mark Crumpacker, Chipotle’s chief creative and development officer, said in a news release. “And we are always looking for ways to better engage with them.”
The partnership with Tapingo expands Chipotle’s existing delivery program. The company has nationwide delivery partnerships with Postmates, a delivery service that operates in several key Chipotle markets, and with OrderUp, which provides delivery service in several smaller Chipotle markets.
“Tapingo has become the buy button for students and we are excited to expand into surrounding areas,” Daniel Almog, the company’s chief executive officer, said in a release. “Our network of students is hungry for Chipotle, and we’re excited to deliver it quickly and at a very reasonable delivery cost.”
