Chipotle's price hike to hit steak lovers harder
NEW YORK - Chipotle's (CMG) coming price hikes could hit steak lovers particularly hard.
The Mexican food chain said earlier this month that it plans to start charging more for its burritos, bowls and tacos in coming weeks as it faces rising costs for ingredients.
Hartung also says the price hike would be more like 4 percent to 6 percent, or 32 cents to 48 cents assuming the cost of a burrito is $8. In the past, executives had said they were considering a smaller hike.
