Colorado-based Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. has established corporate business registrations with the state, but the company will not say whether this means locations in the islands are likely.
Both the corporate name and the related Chipotle Services LLC were registered April 14, but the company didn’t provide details.
Two representatives said in separate emails, “We don’t discuss plans for individual locations or markets beyond what we have under lease and where construction is scheduled. At the moment, we don’t have anything in Hawaii that meets those criteria.”
Dole wants to raise $400M in third IPO
Fruit and vegetable producer Dole Food Co. is seeking to raise about $400 million in its third initial public offering, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Dole’s 94-year-old chairman and 100 percent owner, David H. Murdock, is bringing the company to market for the third time in its 166-year history. The company raised $446.4 million the last time it went public in 2009, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Morgan Stanley, Bank of America Corp. and Deutsche Bank AG are leading the offering this time, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last month.
No final decision has been made, and the size of the IPO could change, the person said, asking not to be identified as the details aren’t public. It’s not yet clear how much Westlake Village, Calif.-based Dole might be valued at after the share sale.
