A TACO Bell restaurant is set to open next week in Oldbury with free Tacos on offer.

The Mexican-inspired food chain will open a restaurant on Oldbury Green Retail Park on Monday (December 11).

The chain has transformed a former Carphone Warehouse unit on the retail park on Oldbury Ringway, which had been empty since Autumn 2020.

Fifteen full-time and 15 part-time jobs will be created.

Free Tacos will be available for any customers in the queue prior to opening.

Lucy Dee, Head of Marketing at Taco Bell said: “We’re delighted to be able to bring Taco Bell to Oldbury.

“The people of Oldbury have been crying out for Taco Bell and we’re very pleased to be able to deliver; creating local jobs despite challenging circumstances.

"We look forward to feeding residents from Monday 11th December onwards whether it be via home delivery, click & collects, takeaway or dine in.”

Taco Bell was founded in 1962 in Downey, California.

It serves a variety of Mexican-inspired foods, including tacos, burritos, quesadillas and nachos.
