Chipotle might be launching a burger chain

Chipotle is considering launching a burger chain.

The company filed a trademark for the phrase "Better Burger" this month, Chipotle spokesman Chris Arnold told Business Insider.

"We have two non-Chipotle growth seeds open now ? ShopHouse and Pizzeria Locale ? and have noted before that the Chipotle model could be applied to a wide variety of foods," Arnold told Business Insider.
