FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Fredericksburg's newest Chipotle restaurant is slated to open later this month, a Chipotle spokesperson told Patch. The new facility on Plank Road will include a drive-thru lane.

Chipotle did not offer a specific opening date, but said it expects to be open by the end of the month. The new restaurant is located at 5621 Plank Road.

The drive-thru lane, known as "Chipotlane," differs from a traditional fast food restaurant. Customers will not be able to place orders at the drive-thru window, but they can pick up orders that they already placed online.
