Chipotle said it plans to keep 53 college-town stores open until midnight on Halloween. The chain said it is targeting college towns popular with Gen Z, a group that likes to eat late. But instead of going national with its late-night business, Chipotle is targeting "college towns that eat the most Chipotle," the chain announced Wednesday. The fresh-Mex chain, which has more than 3,250 restaurants, said 53 college towns will stay open until midnight on Halloween – a busy night for the brand. "Over the past two years, Chipotle has seen a 30 percent increase in transactions after 8 p.m. on Halloween and 81 percent of 18- to 26-year-olds surveyed reported wanting to see Chipotle open until midnight," the chain said.

Med Spa, which wasn't named in the indictment, also pays $2,500 a month in consulting fees to Patten's firm Benchmark Capital. Patten's name hasn't appeared in Med Spa filings. Authorities also said they artificially inflated the market value of Hometown International and E-Waste by 939% and 19,900% respectively. Like the other two shell companies, Med Spa Vacations had an initial business goal—in this case, "specialized wellness vacation packages"—that was abandoned in favor of initiating a reverse merger. Med Spa is currently in search of a company with which to complete a reverse merger.
