Although employees are still working at the EMU Chipotle today, there’s a sign outside the establishment that says it’s closed today until further notice.
EMU Chipotle manager James Valencia said that Chipotle closed after the refrigerator that stores $20,000 worth of food broke down. Since the food is now warm, it can’t be served to the public.
Valencia said he does not know how the refrigerator broke.
Chipotle employees donated the food to a harvesting program at the University of Oregon so it wouldn’t be wasted.
While the restaurant is closed, people are working to repair the refrigerator. Since the store opened within the last year, it has a warranty and there will be no cost to repair the refrigerator.
New, fresh food will be delivered to Chipotle by the end of the day. The restaurant is set to reopen tomorrow and continue business normally.
