FARGO – It’s official: The long-awaited and highly anticipated opening of Chipotle Mexican Grill in Fargo is just days away.

The company confirmed Tuesday that the new store at 1680 45th St. S. will open to the public on Monday.

Hours will be 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.

The phone number at the restaurant is (701) 282-2270, according to information on the company Website.

Until recently, the company was mum on an official opening date, stating only that it expected to open North Dakota’s first Chipotle sometime in February.

However, a sign recently spotted on the restaurant’s door hinted at a more specific time frame.

It read simply: “Monday, Feb. 9.”

The Fargo Chipotle is expected to bring 35-40 jobs to the area.
