The Westlake Village Taco Bell Has Closed Its Doors After 26 Years in Business

Carol A. pointed out that the Taco Bell at 2900 Townsgate Road, Westlake Village in the Village Glen is closed. She’s absolutely right. After 26 years serving tacos, Quesaritos and Crunchwrap Supremes to the local community, it has packed its bags.

Other nearby Taco Bell locations in Thousand Oaks (corner of T.O. Boulevard and Rancho Road) and at 5589 Kanan Road in Agoura Hills as well as 791 N. Wendy Drive in Newbury Park.

Taco Bell was founded in 1962 by Glen Bell in Downey, California. Its first franchise opened in 1964 in Torrance. By 1967 it grew to 100 locations and in 1970 it went public with 325 restaurants. It was purchased by PepsiCo in 1978 and now is part of Yum! Brands.

Make you kind of wonder, if Glen’s last name was Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele, would he have called it Taco Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele? Hmm.
