Would you prefer chips and guac to fun-sized candy this Halloween? Well, you may be in luck if you live in one of 53 college towns in which Chipotle is holding special late-night hours. As reported by Nancy Luna at INSIDER, the popular chain is extending their hours until midnight — two hours later than the usual closing time. Some of the aforementioned "college towns" include: Tuscaloosa, Long Beach, Boulder, South Miami, Baton Rouge, Nashville, Austin and Salt Lake City.
"Over the past two years, Chipotle has seen a 30% increase in transactions after 8 p.m. on Halloween and 81% of 18- to 26-year-olds surveyed reported wanting to see Chipotle open until midnight," the chain told the publication. Chipotle is not alone in pursuing new, extended hours endeavors; Pizza Hut also recently announced changing their closing time to 2 a.m. at various locations of the iconic chain.
