Chipotle Grill to Open May 21, The Burger Joint Seeks Permits

The Danbury Fair Mall will see the opening of its newest restaurant, Chipotle Grill, on May 21. Plans for BGR's The Burger Joint, next door to Chipotle, were submitted to Danbury City Hall Thursday.

The Chipotle Grill passed its final inspection Monday, and its certificate of occupation was being prepared in City Hall immediately afterward. The fresh Mexican grill is now scheduled to open on May 21.

Sean Hearty, Permit Center coordinator, said plans were delivered to City Hall Thursday for a new restaurant next door to Chipotle Grill called BGR's The Burger Joint.

Both Chipotle Grill and The Burger Joint are going into space left vacant by Uno Chicago Grill, which closed in April 2012. Chipotle took nearly 2,800-square-feet of that space, and The Burger Joint is seeking to renovate about 1,850-square-feet, according to the plans submitted to City Hall.

In addition to Chipotle Grill and The Burger Joint, the Danbury Fair mall will also see a cupcake store, Crumbs, and Red Robin, a fast food family style restaurant.
