Taco Bell History

Taco Bell is named after Glen Bell, its founder. The story of Taco Bell begins in 1946. At 23 years, Glen bell put up a hot dog stand in San Bernardino and dubbed it Bell’s Drive. Four years later he opened a hamburger stand in Latino neighborhood in San Bernardino, which he called Bell’s Hamburgers and Hot Dogs.

In early 1950, the area around Bell’s Hamburgers and Hot Dogs was saturated with similar restaurants which led Bell to decide to incorporate other menus in order to stay relevant. At this time, he noted that the Mexican restaurants across the street attracted long lines of customers because of their hard-shelled tacos. Over the next two years, he dined there with an attempt to reverse engineer the hard-shelled tacos recipes. With time, he became friends with the owners who shared their recipes.

A short time late, he introduced taco at his stand and in no time, they were outselling the hot dogs and hamburgers which made him focus solely on Mexican food. In 1954, together with a partner, they opened a taco stand which they called Taco Tia.

A few years later while Taco Tia was a hit and after marrying, Bell moved to Los Angeles and had to sell his shares of Taco Tia to his partner. He later opened El Taco with a group of partners. The new business was a hit in Southern California and it started with four locations. He later decided to sell his shares to the partners and begin from scratch once again.

Combining everything he had learned about fast foods and restaurants, Glen opened a restaurant that served Mexican specialties. A friend suggested he combines his name and passion and call the new restaurant Taco Bell. Therefore, in 1962, the first Taco Bell was opened, a simple 20-foot by 20-foot Spanish style stucco building.

Just six months later, he opened his second location in Long Beach and in two years, Taco Bell had opened over seven locations in the area.

In 1965, Glen sold his Franchise to Kermit Bekke and in 1967, over 100 Taco Bells had been scattered throughout Los Angeles.

In 1978, Taco Bell was sold to PepsiCo for $130,000,000 and from there the chain has grown to thousands. In 1997, PepsiCo spun off its food chains including KFC, Taco Bell and Piza Hut into Kentucky based Yum brands.

Taco Bell serves more than 2 billion customers each year across more than 6,500 restaurants. In 2015 Taco Bell launched delivery via Door Dash and also online ordering.
