Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc said on Tuesday it has increased prices for products across its menu by about 4 percent owing to rising labor costs.

Several companies in the retail space, including McDonald’s and Walmart, have increased hourly wages for employees in recent months to retain and hire more workers to keep up with a surge in sales amid a broader economic recovery.
