‘For real this time’ – Taco Bell sets opening date

Taco Bell says it will open its new Spalding restaurant on Thursday, August 18.

The Mexican food chain is opening alongside KFC in a brand new building built on the Lincolnshire Gateway Business Park near to Applegreen services.

It has twice previous set other dates, but then said it had to delay the opening due to “unforeseen circumstances”.

Announcing the new date on Facebook today though, a company spokesman said: “For real this time ????

“Get ready for the big day on 18.08.22.”

The chain says it’s also going to give away a Cheesy Double Decker Taco to the first 100 customers through the door.

A spokesman for KFC told The Voice last week that it couldn’t yet say when the new Spalding branch would be open.”
