Here is a copy of an email from Chipotle to my friend Julia on Oct 2nd:
Hello Julia,
Thank you for writing us with your suggestion. We are schedule to open a Chipotle in Des Moines in the middle of March 2008. You can sign up on the e-mail list and we will send you an address and a date. We will also keep you in the loop about cool promotions. Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Ken Marley
