Chipotle Mexican Grill plans to bring their new "Chipotlane" to Dunwoody, according to permits recently filed with the city.  The new location, 1614 Mount Vernon Road in Dunwoody Village, was most recently an outpost of Tide Dry Cleaners, but has sat idle since Tide's 2020 closure.  Tide's Dunwoody location was one of four franchises locally, but all of them - including others in Alpharetta, Duluth and Johns Creek - have closed.   The building and its drop-off/pick-up doors will be converted to suit the needs of the quick-serve burrito joint.
