It appears Chattanooga is finally getting a Chipotle, a spokeswoman with the fast-casual Mexican restaurant confirmed on Thursday.

“We are currently scheduled to open a location in Chattanooga at some point this fall,” she wrote in an email.

The spokesperson did not state where the location would be and said she could not share any other details at this time.

While the spokesperson would not say where the location will be in Chattanooga, Indeed.com has job postings listed for both a general manager and an assistant general manager in the city.

There are roughly 20 Chipotle restaurants in Tennessee, according to the national chain’s website. Chattanooga would be the last of the four major cities in the state to have a Chipotle open.
