Marshfield Planning Commission to Consider Proposal to Build Chipotle Restaurant

Friday, February 13th, 2026 -- 12:00 PM

(Erik Pfantz, Marshfield News-Herald) A representative for Chipotle Mexican Grill is seeking approval to build a restaurant in Marshfield.

According to Erik Pfantz with the Marshfield News-Herald, the city's Plan Commission on Feb. 17 will consider a request from Joseph Radach, on behalf of Milwaukee-based Midland Management LLC, for a conditional use permit to build a 2,371-square-foot restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating and a pickup lane on the city's north side.

The proposed restaurant would be just north of the site of the former BMO bank at 1305 N. Central Ave. in the Marshfield Towne Centre development. According to the proposal, the BMO bank parcel would be split into two lots, one for the BMO bank building and one for the proposed Chipotle restaurant, according to city documents.

Portions of the existing parking lot would also be removed for the Chipotle restaurant. “We are excited to partner with the City of Marshfield to bring a new fast casual restaurant option to the community,” Radach said in a Dec. 19 letter to the City Council and Plan Commission. “Your guidance and feedback are welcomed.”

Radach’s permit request outlines a plan for the Chipotle restaurant to be built on 0.67 acres of the bank property’s 1.89 acre parcel. The restaurant would have an outdoor eating and drinking area with six tables that can seat approximately 20 patrons, according to the request.

Two of the tables will offer accessibility consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Additionally, the plan outlines the restaurant chain’s “Chipotlane” drive-through concept, which the restaurant says is unlikely to cause regular, significant traffic issues, according to the request.

Customers will submit their orders and payments online via the restaurant's website or mobile app prior to arriving at the drive-through, which reduces the time needed to wait in line, according to the request.

The Plan Commission will meet at 7 p.m. Feb. 17 in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 207 W. Sixth St. in Marshfield. If approved, construction for the restaurant is expected to begin in spring 2026 with completion expected in December 2026, according to city documents.
