1962: The Year Taco Bell Was Born
The first Taco Bell opened its doors in 1962. Yes, that’s right! Over 60 years ago, Glen Bell decided it was time to introduce the world to his vision of Mexican-inspired fast food.
Before the big Taco Bell debut, Glen Bell ventured into the food business with a hot dog stand. However, he soon realized the potential in a different kind of cuisine. This realization led him to create Taco Bell, starting with a single location in Downey, California. Fast forward to today, and there are over 7,000 locations worldwide!
