“With the introduction of Chipotle U Rewards, we’ve created a new personalized digital experience for Gen Z students who are craving real food and real value. Chipotle has long been a go-to destination for students’ celebratory meals, and now members will be given special offers that tie to specific milestones throughout their college journey.” Curt Garner, President, Chief Strategy and Technology Officer, Chipotle.
