'We are looking forward to welcoming customers': Northern Ireland’s first Taco Bell set to open on M1
The new M1 motorway site will launch on May 18 as part of Applegreen’s UK and Ireland expansion, bringing the global Mexican-inspired brand to Northern Ireland for the first time
Northern Ireland’s first Taco Bell is set to open at Applegreen’s Lisburn North motorway service area on the M1 at 11am on Monday, May 18.
The new restaurant will operate seven days a week from 11am to 10pm, marking the Mexican-inspired chain’s debut in Northern Ireland through Applegreen’s growing partnership with the brand across the UK and Ireland.
Applegreen UK managing director John Diviney said: “We are looking forward to welcoming customers to Northern Ireland’s first Taco Bell on May 18.”
The launch continues Applegreen’s rollout of the global brand, with three Taco Bell outlets already operating in the Republic of Ireland and 10 sites across its UK Welcome Break network.
Taco Bell, founded in Irvine, California, operates more than 8,700 restaurants worldwide and is known for its Mexican-inspired menu including the Crunchy Taco, Burritos, Quesadillas, Nachos and the Crunchwrap Supreme™.
Lisburn North is one of five Applegreen sites in Northern Ireland, alongside Lisburn South, Templepatrick, Ballymena and Hillsborough.
The opening forms part of Applegreen’s wider €1 billion (£865 million) investment and expansion programme across its operations in the UK, Ireland and the United States.
