TENANT PROFILE ShopHouse is a tribute to the inspiring food culture of Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore. ShopHouse opened in 2011, but their story actually goes back to 1993, when Steve Ells founded Chipotle and set out to change food culture. For over 20 years, Chipotle has shown that food served fast can be made from delicious ingredients that are sourced responsibly and prepared using classic cooking techniques. Along the way, Chipotle realized that their commitment to Food With Integrity could extend beyond burritos. ShopHouse builds on Chipotle’s vision for the future of fast food by bringing Chipotle’s service format and food philosophy to the vibrant culinary tradition of Southeast Asia. The food culture of Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore is eye-opening and inspiring, with a focus on fresh, expertly prepared, and affordable fare that can be eaten every day. ShopHouse pays tribute to the region’s flavors by balancing fresh, responsibly sourced ingredients that take hours to prepare and just seconds to come together in any combination.

Rather than burritos, however, the options at ShopHouse include Southeast Asian-inspired rice and noodle bowl dishes with marinated meats, spicy sauces, and herbs and vegetables. After Chipotle’s most recent earnings report in April, Ells said the company wasn’t accelerating growth yet but was still “planting seeds” for the concept. The primary focus remains the Mexican-inspired Chipotle brand, which has 1,450 locations in the North America and Europe, he said. http://nrn.com/fast-casual/chipotle-expands-shophouse-concept CHOP’T GIVES CHIPOTLE OPENS ASIAN EATERY IN CHALLENGE TO PANDA EXPRESS September 15, 2011 — by Leslie PattonRobin Ajello Sept. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. opens its Menu Fiddling first Asian-themed restaurant today in Washington as the Co-Chief Executive Officer Steve Ells, a classically trained company moves to expand beyond burritos. chef, opened the first Chipotle in 1993.
