Palm Coast’s future Chipotle that will be located on the southwest corner of Palm Coast Parkway and northbound Belle Terre Parkway could open over the summer of 2026.
During a technical site plan application review at the Palm Coast Planning Board meeting on Dec. 17, a representative for the property owner said the contractor will be ready to begin construction after New Year’s Day, with an estimated completion of June or July. The previous building on the site, which used to be a Squirrel gas station, has recently been demolished.
The property has been vacant since 2011. According to the Dec. 17 meeting documents, the new Chipotle building will be 2,400 square feet in size and include outdoor seating and a drive-thru area for customers to pick up their mobile orders.
According to the technical site plan, the developer will be upgrading the southwest corner of the property to include two benches and a pre-cast fountain at the intersection corner. Other improvements will include improving the radius of the turns into the corner property.
The gas tanks underneath the lot had previously been filled in with a sand mixture approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the representative said, and the new property owner — who purchased it in 2023 — has the appropriate closure permits in hand.
