Chipotle is shutting down all of its stores nationwide for a few hours next month to hold a national staff meeting about food safety.
The meeting will occur on February 8 and the company's more than 1,900 restaurants will take part.
Chipotle said the meeting would provide an opportunity to thank employees, discuss changes and answer questions.
Chipotle (CMG) has suffered from several outbreaks of E. coli, Salmonella and norovirus that infected customers and led to an unrelenting stream of criticism and mockery on social media.
escherichia coli? salmonella? wtf is that place omg even the cheapest chinese restaurants located in milan's basements here in Italy aren't that dangerous in my country they would've been shut down for good
They really took a hard hit. Sales for all businesses are down in general. All those illnesses definitely didn't help Chipotle. Poor them, especially the employees who might lose their jobs in this already messy economy.
