Hungry workers in the Loop were confused when they flocked to a popular Chipotle on Tuesday and found the restaurant dark and empty inside. As a sign on the door stated, the license for the Chipotle on Michigan Avenue had been suspended on Monday, September 21.
Update 3:30 p.m.: According to a Chipotle spokesperson, the restaurant passed its re-inspection and will be opening again shortly. The Department of Public Health sign has since been replaced with a “Don’t Panic” sign from Chipotle.
According to the Department of Public Health, the main reason for the license suspension was fruit flies.
“Over 30 flying insects on walls and ceiling,” an official report noted on September 14.
When the Department of Public Health returned on September 21 and found the problem was still present, they closed the restaurant.
“The restaurant was closed after a regular health department inspection identified an operating issue,” wrote a Chipotle spokesperson. “The issue has been addressed and the restaurant will reopen pending re-inspection by the health department, tentatively this afternoon.”
How common is a problem like fruit flies? According to the Department of Public Health, it’s “fairly common.”
A spokesperson with the Department said a problem like this “can usually be resolved quickly with the assistance of professional pest control operators.”
