Alex Vikartofsky waited two hours – and four years – to get a burrito bowl from Chipotle in Oxford.

The Miami University senior started a line outside the grand opening of Chipotle Mexican Grill at 1 W. High St. at 9 a.m. today, Nov. 6.

Vikartofsky said she has been wishing for the restaurant to come to Oxford since she arrived on campus her freshman year.

“I am obsessed with Chipotle,” she said as she sat down to enjoy her order – the first meal ever served – a chicken fajita burrito bowl, no beans. “It’s made my year without a doubt.”

Vikartofsky came out early today set to be the first customer. She brought her friend, Miami junior Megan Cardosi. The two led a crowd that filled the corner shop as they opened the doors for the first time at about 10:50 a.m.

“I think it was worth it,” Cardosi said.

Chipotle is offering T-shirts and a drawing for free burritos for a year today.

The restaurant will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
