The Illawarra’s brand new Taco Bell restaurant is finally set to open after setting up shop on the Princes Highway months ago.
Albion Park is home to the state’s third Taco Bell, which will open its doors on October 26 after the US mega-chain arrived in Australia in 2017.
The eatery is located on the Princes Hwy, neighbouring a bowling alley and arcade, other eateries and a 7-Eleven service station.
In a first for NSW and in a big win for convenience, the restaurant will also offer drive-through.
Ashley Jones, CEO of Restaurant Brands Australia, which operates Taco Bell in NSW and ACT, says that while COVID-19 briefly disrupted the roll out, the new restaurant in Albion Park and another in Ballina will offer opportunities across the state.
“Understandably, COVID-19 has meant that our Taco Bell NSW rollout was temporarily slowed but we are pleased to be back opening restaurants, serving delicious tacos and burritos to our fans,” he said.
“It’s good news for local communities, who have benefited from job opportunities via local construction, produce supply and over 100 new retail jobs across the state.”
With plans to expand further in 2021, Restaurant Brands Australia anticipates opening 40 restaurants across NSW and the ACT over the next four years.
