Taco Bell Opens First Four-Lane Drive Thru

Irvine-based Taco Bell Corp. has opened a new two-story restaurant concept with a four-lane drive-thru in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
The “Taco Bell Defy” concept, the first of its kind, aims to reduce drive-thru times to two minutes or less, the company said. The four-lane drive thru will accommodate pre-order customers, traditional drive-thru customers and delivery drivers.
Features of the Taco Bell Defy store could show up in its future locations in the US, the company said. It’s currently considering retrofitting existing locations near the new concept, in a partnership with Minneapolis-based franchisee Border Foods.
