• For the first time ever, Chipotle is pairing free chips with its National Avocado Day guac offer and extending the celebration to two days
• Digital guests can score free chips and guac with an entrée purchase on July 31 and August 1 using code AVO2026 on the Chipotle app and Chipotle.com¹

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) today announced it is celebrating National Avocado Day with one of its biggest National Avocado Day offers yet. For two days, July 31 and August 1, guests can receive free chips and guac with the purchase of an entrée, exclusively on the Chipotle app and Chipotle.com using code AVO2026 at checkout.¹

"Our hand-mashed guac and housemade chips are an iconic Chipotle pairing, and this year we're going bigger than ever for National Avocado Day," said Stephanie Perdue, Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing at Chipotle. "For the first time, we're giving fans two full days to celebrate with free chips and guac with the purchase of an entrée, because one day simply isn't enough for something this extra."

Chipotle's guac is hand-mashed throughout the day in restaurants. Each batch is made with 48 whole, ripe Hass avocados, which are revered for their rich, creamy texture. Whether enjoyed on the side, added to an entrée, or scooped with chips, guac is one of Chipotle's most iconic menu items.

Behind the Scenes at a California Avocado Farm
To highlight how Chipotle sources avocados for its fresh guac, the company is teaming up with brand superfans Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi for new social content that takes fans behind the scenes at one of the California farms where Chipotle sources its avocados. Debuting on July 30, the day before National Avocado Day, the video follows Leah and Miguel as they tour the farm, harvest ripe avocados and visit a Chipotle restaurant to learn how the brand prepares its iconic guac. Known for spending time in their garden, Leah and Miguel share an appreciation for the brand's commitment to sustainable sourcing and get a firsthand look at the fruit's journey from orchard to restaurant.
