Real Quotes:
“I barely have time to sleep. I wake up at 7 a.m. for
school and at 4 I’m at work until 12 a.m to then get
home and do homework. I don’t have much time to
cook either. There aren’t many local fast food
restaurants near my job so it is hard.
Common Objections:
Price
Trust
Timing

College Student
Marketing Messaging:
Chipotle is working on having as many restaurants that are
located in convenient places near universities for those
college students who don’t or can’t cook. Prices will also be
adjusted so it is affordable for everyone.
Elevator Pitch:
Chipotle will provide fresh food quickly and efficiently for
those who don’t favor cooking or just unable to. With a
menu full of variety we have included the calorie count to
all of the items that are incorporated in each meal.
Chipotle is for everyone but we understand the struggle for
those busy college students.
