As many as 65 U.S. Chipotle stores will close over the coming quarters, ABC News confirms. About half of those will shutter in the next 30 days.

The company is not providing a list of which of its outposts are closing at this time, but Thrillist reports five of them will be some of the last remaining Pizzeria Locales.

Chipotle attributed part of the reason for these closures as needing to make the chain more "culturally relevant." That means you'll eventually be able to order delivery from Chipotle's app. Execs also announced plans to introduce a happy hour during off-peak hours that will include $2 tacos and drinks.

This isn't the first time Chipotle has closed dozens of stores in a short period of time: the brand has long been plagued by scandal, having had dozens of customers get very ill from their food over the past few years.
