Setting Up Shop in the UK
Taco Bell made its grand UK debut in 1986. Yes, you read that right! However, it took some twists and turns before becoming the beloved spot it is today.
Initially, Taco Bell experimented with a few locations but eventually closed them down. But don’t worry! They made a triumphant return in 2010, opening a store in Lakeside Shopping Centre, Essex. Since then, Taco Bell has won over Brits across the country, expanding to numerous locations and sharing its famous tacos, burritos, and quesadillas.
