Construction recently started for a Chipotle restaurant at 3672 King Street in the Bradlee Shopping Center.

The interior renovation of the space started a couple weeks ago. No opening date has been set.

The location is the former home to California Tortilla, which closed last year.

When open, this will be the fifth Chipotle in the City of Alexandria, and the second on King Street.

The new restaurant joins a number of new businesses in the Bradlee Shopping Center, including Spicelife Indian Fare and Crumbl Cookies.
