Trentster5172 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I met one of the general contractors that travels the US building Chipotle Mexican grills. He is also the guy that installs the pair of Heresy's in the wall of the restaurant. I met him while he was installing them at our new restaurant that will be opening next month. Turns out they are the nice finished black Heresy's III's just mounted upside down behind the wall. They come with grills and the new badges on them right out of the box. Where do the grills and badges end up? Usually in the garbage after the install- no kidding! He said he will start keeping them if anyone is interested. He said he will sell grills and badges pretty cheap and he already has several pairs on hand. Here's his info: Juan Betancourt (916)842-8524 Jbetancourt@tri-quest.net Cheers!

Trent That was a great tip. I don't think he will have any problem selling them! They would work for H2 or H3, and since they are new, they should be worth $50-75 per pair.

mustang guy Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I emailed him and offered to buy a pair for my KP201's for which I only have a single grille. If I get them from him, I will have a kp201 grille to give to somebody. Edited July 23, 2016 by mustang guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzydog Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 So what happens to the speakers when a Chipotle goes out of business? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEUS121996 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Juan called me at 10:30 central time just to touch base with me. What a nice man, taking a Saturday night to call me about something that is irrelevant to him. More people should be like him Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentster5172 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 He seemed like a cool guy when I met him that day- my first impression was that he would love to help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Well after he called me and said he would set me up with a pair, nothing has happened. I texted him twice and iffered to pay him and have had no reply. I guess he bailed Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 He emailed me and I said they looked good. I emailed and asked how I could pay and heard nothing back. I think he's too busy to fool with this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentster5172 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Bummer guys! I thought this would be the ticket for anyone looking for heresy grills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
