Since the first restaurant opened in Southern California back in 1962, Taco Bell has been one of the top fast food destinations for those craving something other than hamburgers. Owners of a Taco Bell franchise benefit from the well known "Live Más" slogan and the incredible variety of burritos, nachos, chalupas, tacos and more. In 2012, Taco Bell launched a new line of tacos – Doritos Locos Tacos – that have Nacho Cheese- and Cool Ranch-flavored shells. Specialty items like the Crunchwrap Supreme – tacos that are folded and grilled for convenient one-handed eating – are also extremely popular. The low-fat and low-calorie Fresco Menu and the Cantina Bell Menu, featuring dishes created by celebrity chef Lorena Garcia, have already established loyal followings.
Taco Bell Corp., a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc., (NYSE: YUM), is the nation's leading Mexican-inspired quick service restaurant. Taco Bell and its more than 350 franchise organization have nearly 6,000 restaurants across the United States that proudly serve more than 36 million customers every week.
