FORT WALTON BEACH Officials from Newport Beach, California-based Chipotle Mexican Grill plan to open a Chipotle restaurant this summer at the site of the former Fort Walton Beach Shrine Club.
The old Shrine Club building at 227 Carol Ave., off Mary Esther Cut-Off and just northeast of the Golden Corral restaurant, recently was demolished.
Fort Walton Beach officials approved an expedited development order for the restaurant last October, according to city Growth Management Director Chris Frassetti.
“We’ve been waiting on their building permit submittals, which included their need to pick a general contractor,” Frassetti said Wednesday. “They submitted the remaining permit documentation to us last Thursday.”
