Taco Bell celebrates 2-year anniversary
The Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce and Carolina Taco Inc. owners and managers will celebrate the restaurant’s second anniversary of the newly built Taco Bell at 209 Robert Smalls Parkway in Beaufort.
The event will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. with a ribbon cutting ceremony taking place at noon.
Owners Billy Baker and Gary Feathers were happy to bring a new Taco Bell to the Beaufort community in November 2015, as their older location “had seen its better days,” according to a press release.
This new building is the only location in the country to have this exact exterior look, and is led by General Managing Partner Kalchuet Williams and District Manager Julie Smith. With their seven locations in South Carolina and Tennessee, Carolina Taco employs an average of 35-40 team members.
Within the next three months, Carolina Taco hopes to break ground on its Lady’s Island location.
To attend the event, mail Carolyn@BeaufortSC.org to RSVP.
