Because it’s a known fact that residents of Brandon are conditioned to be being in their cars for long periods of time, it only makes sense that they’re getting one of Tampa Bay’s first Chipotle drive-thrus.

On Thursday, Feb. 16, Brandon’s first “Chipotlane” will debut at the 11137 Causeway Blvd. location.

The drive-thru is not your standard drive-thru where you can place orders directly at the window, instead it is a drive-thru pickup lane that allows guests to conveniently pick up digital orders without leaving their cars.

Guests who enroll in Chipotle Rewards by March 6 will earn a free side of guac dropped into their rewards account, as part of the company’s new “Freepotle” perk.

Florida got its very first taster of a “Chipotlane” back in 2019 when it first debuted in Orlando. The Sunshine State is now home to over 25 “Chipotlanes” with more planned to open this year.

Last year Tampa got its first “Chipotlane” at the 8301 N Dale Mabry Hwy location.
