Background
Before creating Taco Bell, Glen Bell opened Bell’s Drive in and Taco Tio in the San Bernardino area in 1954. In 1962, Bell unveiled the first Taco Bell restaurant in Downey, CA, serving what his customers liked to call “Tay-Kohs.”

Taco Bell became a franchise in 1964 when a retired L.A. Police Officer named Kermit Becky opened a store in Torrance, CA. Taco Bell’s profits climbed to 141 million as of May 2017, an increase from last year’s 118 million. There are more than 7000 locations around the U.S. and the world. They just opened 54 more new restaurants in the first quarter of 2017, with plans to add more.

Taco Bell’s core operating profit rose 19% year-over-year as of May 2017, topping an overall 9% growth for parent company Yum Brands Inc. The Mexican-themed fast food chain’s same-store sales grew 8%, while system-wide sales grew by 12% and they are currently opening more stores.

Why Now?
Taco Bell’s goal is to add 2000 more restaurants and 100,000 more jobs by 2022.
