Chipotle adding Queensgate location

Chipotle Mexican Grill is taking over

the former Qdoba Mexican Eats spot at Vintner Plaza in

Richland’s Queensgate neighborhood. 

Alegis Construction Inc. is remodeling the

space for the new tenant. The project is valued at $561,000, according to

the permit issued by the city of Richland. 

The restaurant will be at 2673 Queensgate Drive. 

It will join the chain’s original Tri-City spot at 1102

N. Columbia Center Blvd., Suite C, in Kennewick. 

Qdoba closed in May, after opening in 2015.

Hops N Drops restaurant, formerly Hop Jack’s, also shares

the same strip mall.

Target-anchored Vintner Plaza is owned and operated by

Browman Development Co. Inc., based in Walnut Creek, Calif.
