Adam Rymer 1.4 1 idea

CFO Rymer states new restaurants are opening at "80% of the volume of existing restaurants" with "cash on cash returns north of 60%." He also notes strength in "higher income guests which is about 60% of sales." Despite the narrative of a weak consumer, Chipotle's specific demographic (higher income) is resilient. The unit economics (60% returns) justify continued aggressive expansion (350-370 new stores). Long CMG on execution and demographic resilience. Rising input costs (beef/avocados) pushing inflation back to 3-4%.
