(KGTV) — Word spread online this week that Chipotle is filing for bankruptcy and closing restaurants.
But that's fiction.
The misinformation appears to have come from an online article by a Spanish media outlet that erroneously reported Chipotle was shutting down locations.
In reality, Chipotle is closing its spinoff venture called Farmesa Fresh, which debuted a couple of years ago.
The article was subsequently corrected.
Chipotle says it actually plans to open 365 new restaurants this year, at least 80% of which will include the chain's new drive-thru model.
There are nearly two dozen Chipotle restaurants in San Diego County.
