McDonald's and Chipotle Mock FTC's Attacks On Meta

In 1998, fast-food giant McDonald's invested in a small Colorado burrito chain with just sixteen restaurants: Chipotle. Under McDonald's leadership over the next seven years — and with an investment of $340 million — Chipotle expanded from its humble Colorado beginnings to over 500 restaurants nationwide. McDonald's later sold its investment as Chipotle became a publicly traded company, where it remains a ubiquitous presence in communities nationwide.
