by XPRESS, 04 July 2017

Mexican restaurant brand Taco Bell is to continue its expansion by opening its first restaurants in Scotland and Surrey.

The company has earmarked the former Bradfords Bakery site in Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, as its first Scottish venture.

The venue is due to open in the autumn, according to an advert posted on Gumtree for a restaurant manager, reports Herald Scotland.

Taco Bell is also opening its first site in Surrey, in Woking, where the company has its UK headquarters.

The venue in Chertsey Road will be the company’s 18th UK restaurant when it opens on Wednesday, 16 August, reports Get Surrey. Meanwhile, Taco Bell’s restaurant in Las Vegas is to become the brand’s first to host weddings.

The restaurant, located beside the Planet Hollywood resort, will become the city’s latest wedding venue from Monday, 7 August, reports Casinopedia.

Taco Bell’s package includes the wedding service itself, alongside a range of souvenirs such as champagne flutes featuring the Taco Bell ‘Live Más’ logo and a bouquet made from sauce packets.

The wedding couple can have an audience of up to 15 with the package including a dozen tacos and a cake, while guests can order additional food from the standard Taco Bell menu.

Taco Bell is not the first restaurant in Vegas to offer weddings – Denny’s launched a similar package at its Fremont Street restaurant in 2013.
