Arendall Jones

Scattered 7 years of college across ECU, UNC, and Arizona State. Moved to Arizona in 1992 after getting in enough trouble in NC. Settled in Tempe and decided to go back to school. Finished a few semesters and decided I was educated enough and started my career in running restaurants. Managed Outback Steakhouses for 7 years between AZ and CA. Split with my girlfriend in 1996 and decided to move to Orange County. Married my first wife in 1999 and it sucked. Got divorced in 2002, Got a job with Chipotle back in 2002 when it was still fairly small. The rest is history. Married my 2nd wife, Michelle in 2005 in Jamaica and she rocks. Now I run 15 Chipotles in Orange County and South LA, have 2 awesome kids, and work out of my house. Still go to lots of Grateful Dead shows and am pushing 300 total since high school. Pretty normal life now with the kids though. Lived in The OC for 17 years now. And now we are relocating to tucson AZ in February with chipotle.

High school sucked as far as I am concerned. I guess it's what you make of it, like anything else, but not my favorite times.

Looking back, I think it is funny we had a "student smoking section" and the fact that it was right in front of the doors. Only in NC. I tell people here in Cali that story and they think it's funny.
