Chipotle on Kirkwood Ave. was closed Wednesday due to storm damage.
An employee said equipment was damaged and the store was not operational.
However, they said they did hope to be able to have the location open later in the day.
“This is bullshit,” IU student Ben Williams said.
To make amends with customers, Chipotle handed out coupons and offered 25 percent off at their College Mall location if customers said they had already visited the closed Kirkwood Chipotle.
IU senior Will Howson said he skipped class to get lunch at Chipotle.
“I’m really hungry, and I haven’t eating anything all day,” Howson said.
Howson said he would have to cook his own lunch because Chipotle was closed, and he does not have a car to drive to the College Mall location, he said.
IU student Sloan Thacker said she wished she had known before going out that Chipotle had announced they were closed so she would not have set her heart on going there to eat her lunch.
“I had an exam this morning, and I was looking forward to my Chipotle,” IU student Lexi Muir said. “Now I can’t be excited about it.”
