Hamilton’s new Chipotle sets opening date with planned giveaways

Hamilton’s new Chipotle Mexican Grill is set to open Sept. 25, a company spokeswoman has told the Journal-News.

“Additionally, the first 50 customers in line will receive some Chipotle swag,” said Regina Wu of the company

Chipotle opened 20 new restaurants during the second quarter of this year and closed one, according to the company.

The outside of the new eatery at 1479 Main St. in Hamilton is nearly completed, but work is continuing on the new restaurant’s interior.

The restaurant is being built on what was a parking lot next to the Bob Evans at 1461 Main St. It also sits close to Main Street in front of the AMC Classic Hamilton 8 theater.

Construction began on the site in March, with Webb’s Excavating doing preliminary site work.

It’s the latest among dining, drinking and entertainment options added in the city during recent months.

Tano Bistro opened Monday at The Marcum complex of new apartments and shops in Hamilton’s downtown, across from Marcum Park. Tano is the award-winning restaurant’s second location offered by Chef Gaetano “Tano” Williams, who has operated a location in Loveland’s Historic District since 2009.

Among others were Wingstop at 1029 High St.; and Dean’s Grill at 2535 Pleasant Ave., at the former location of Lindenwald Station.

The Casual Pint, featuring beers and food, will open later this month, with Bones Brothers Wings opening later, both at The Marcum.
