Taco Bell Franchise

Mexican quick-service restaurant


After leaving the Marine Corps at 23, Glen Bell came home to San
Bernardino, California and opened a hot dog stand. But his real interest
was in alternative menu items, so he began selling tacos for 19 cents
from a side window of the hot dog stand. When the tacos proved as
popular as he had hoped, he started opening Taco Tia stands where tacos
were the stars of the menu. In 1962, Bell sold the Taco Tia brand to his
partners and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey, California.
Franchising began two years later.
Taco Bell is the country's driving Mexican-propelled snappy administration eatery (QSR) mark. We serve made-to-request and adaptable tacos and burritos, among other craveable decisions, and are the primary QSR eatery to offer American Vegetarian Association (AVA)- confirmed menu items. Taco Bell and our more than 350 establishment associations work over 6,500 eateries throughout the United States that gladly serve around 40 million clients consistently.

Outside of our eateries, individuals can simply get to the Taco Bell mark through our Mobile Ordering and Payment App. In 2014, Taco Bell turned into the main QSR to dispatch a versatile application at eateries across the nation for both drive-through and feasting orders. Notwithstanding the portable application, individuals can arrange their most loved menu things by means of desktop on Ta.co or for conveyance through our association with DoorDash.

While Taco Bell is fundamentally a U.S. mark, Yum! Brands managed to make it the Company's third worldwide brand. Outside the U.S., we have over 300 Taco Bell units in 24 nations, barring the Yum! China Division.

restaurant ranges from $152,250 to $1,766,250 or more, excluding real
property, all of which must be paid to licensor or an affiliate.
