Parents in Augusta, lock your babies in the car, because Chipotle is landing at 1 Stephen King Drive, Suite 10. (Disclaimer: Don't leave your babies in the car.

Saint Pierre has 15 years experience working in restaurants outside Maine." The new restaurant will have fine-dining institution Back Bay Grill as a neighbor.
