The offer of free burritos hasn’t been enough to help Chipotle Mexican Grill win back customers run off by a series of food-borne health scares, so maybe free beer and margaritas will do the trick. The chain is offering half-price drinks and two-for-one specials at locations in eight states across the Midwest.
Chipotle patrons in Kansas and Ohio can take advantage of half-off deals between 4:00 and 8:00 p.m. Those in Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin can get the two-fer offer during the same hours. The promotion is not, however, an invitation for those wishing to obtain a discounted drunk — it includes a limit of one offer per customer per day.
According to reports, Chipotle seems to be low-keying the offer. The chain has posted no in-store signs or advertising blaring out the deal. Some of its restaurants in the Midwest have the promotion in place while others are apparently unaware of it.
Chipotle has recently gotten some more bad press. The chain has lost two lawsuits by female employees who claimed they were fired because they were pregnant.
