The Wilder Companies signs Chipotle and Jimmy John’s
Boston, MA Beginning this spring, the search for quality fast food options in Boston’s Theatre District will get a lot easier when Chipotle and Jimmy John’s open new locations at City Place. Among the fastest growing restaurants in the country, both offer dining options featuring high-quality fresh ingredients.
“Like the Theatre District which continues to evolve, so too are the food options people are looking for today,” said Gary Robinson, vice president of leasing, of The Wilder Companies, the management company for City Place. “Both Chipotle and Jimmy John’s offer menu options featuring higher quality ingredients coupled with service and atmosphere that diners expect in a more traditional restaurant, but with the convenience of fast food. These latest additions to City Place complement our dining options that range from food-court style to fine dining.”
Chipotle leased 1,614 s/f, and Jimmy John’s leased 1,578 s/f.
