American fast food giant Taco Bell is set to make its Irish debut this summer following a new agreement with service station operator Applegreen.
The partnership will bring the Mexican-inspired chain to Ireland for the first time, with the initial restaurant scheduled to open in the coming months. While the exact location of the first outlet has not yet been disclosed, Applegreen has confirmed plans to expand the brand across multiple locations throughout the country over the next five years.
Seamus Stapleton, Managing Director of Applegreen’s Republic of Ireland business, expressed enthusiasm about the deal: “We are really excited to announce this partnership to launch the iconic Taco Bell brand in Ireland. I’m sure Irish consumers will be very excited at the arrival of Taco Bell.”
Founded in California in 1962, Taco Bell has grown to become one of America’s most popular fast food chains, known for its Mexican-inspired menu featuring items such as tacos, burritos, nachos, and quesadillas.
The expansion into Ireland follows Applegreen’s existing success with Taco Bell locations at several of its service stations in the United Kingdom.
