Oconomowoc’s Olympia Fields development just landed another big-name tenant, with a new Chipotle now open and serving burritos alongside a Chipotlane drive-through. The fast-casual chain brings both indoor seating and drive-up pickup to the mixed-use site, adding to a growing cluster of national eateries that local officials and developers have framed as part of a broader push to put everyday services closer to new housing.
What opened and what it looks like
The restaurant, at 1299 Olympia Fields Drive, opened this week, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Planning materials describe a roughly 2,300-square-foot building that includes a Chipotlane pickup lane specifically for digital orders, as reported by BizTimes. The two-restaurant setup at that corner was teed up last year, when the developer announced the closing of a 2-acre parcel sale paving the way for both Chipotle and a neighboring First Watch, per Wangard Partners.
Hours, neighbors and what’s next
First Watch, slated to sit next door at 1295 Olympia Fields Drive, lists its Oconomowoc spot with daily hours of 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the chain’s website. Chipotle’s own location page still labels the 1299 Olympia Fields Drive restaurant as “Coming Soon,” even as the brand highlights menu items tied to that address, according to Chipotle. Around them, Olympia Fields has already pulled in other recognizable names like Panera and Sendik’s, all part of a larger build-out pitched as serving both local residents and drivers moving through the corridor.
Why developers pitched dining here
Developers have repeatedly pointed to highway visibility and nearby housing growth as key reasons national tenants are lining up. A commercial listing for the site notes frontage near Interstate 94 and Highway 67 and identifies Chipotle as a corporate tenant with a long-term lease, underscoring the development’s regional pull. Local planning documents show Olympia Fields was envisioned as a mixed-use project from the outset, built in phases on the former resort property. The incoming restaurant lineup is intended to support future apartments, medical offices and other services planned for the broader project.
For Oconomowoc residents, the new Chipotle offers a quick grab-and-go option while the remaining retail pads at Olympia Fields wait for their own tenants. Anyone looking to swing by should check the chain’s location page or local coverage for the latest on hours and any grand-opening details.
