Walmart CEO Doug McMillon noted that despite a low consumer price index, food prices continue to rise, indicating ongoing inflationary pressures on the industry.
Chipotle's recent 2% price increase reflects rising costs for beef and dairy, yet demand has allowed them to implement this change without immediate customer pushback.
Chipotle's management acknowledged good traffic, but warnings about rising food costs suggest they might soon experience declines in same-store sales similar to those at McDonald's and Starbucks.
McDonald's stocks and customer volume show troubling trends, revealing that price increases lead to cautious consumer spending, a fate Chipotle may also face.
