USA: Taco Bell in Chicago will have a security guard

Taco Bell in Wicker Park in Chicago will have a security guard at the door on weekends, DNAInfo reports. The fast-food restaurant will also stop selling liquor by midnight when it opens next month.

The bouncer and the curtailed hours were part of concessions hammered out at a community meeting in June, DNAInfo wrote. Neighbors were concerned about underage drinking and late-night carousing.

Called Taco Bell Cantina, it will serve beer, wine, sangria, and Twisted Freezes, a frozen alcoholic beverage.

City Liquor Commissioner Greg Steadman will soon OK the plan, Bill O'Donaghue, a lawyer for Neil Borkan, a Lincolnshire-based franchisee who owns the Wicker Park Taco Bell along with 34 other stores, told DNAInfo.

Taco Bell announced in June that it would serve beer, wine and "mixed alcohol freezes" at the Wicker Park location, which will have a new design it's testing in urban markets.

Taco Bell's Cap'n Crunch Delights

Taco Bell announced that it is adding Cap’n Crunch Delights, warm donut holes covered in Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries cereal and filled with “milk icing,” to its national menu, starting July 2, 2015.

The chain started testing the item in select locations in February, selling packs of two for $1.00, four for $1.69 or 12 for $4.49.

While Taco Bell recently announced it would rid its menu of artificial ingredients—artificial colors, flavors and high-fructose corn syrup—by year’s end, the pledge does not apply to branded items like the Cap’n Crunch donut holes or Doritos Locos Tacos, a spokesperson told the Associated Press.

Dunkin Donuts i Taco Bell

Amerykańskie sieci Dunkin Donuts i Taco Bell weszły do Polski po upadku komunizmu we wczesnych latach 90. 

Wraz ze świeżym powiewem wolności amerykańskie sieci próbowały zawojować nasz rynek gastronomiczny. Doznaliśmy wtedy wysypu fast foodów, pojawiły się KFC, McDonald's, Burger King, Dominos Pizza, Pizza Hut oraz Dunkin Donuts i Taco Bell.

McDonald'€™s, KFC czy Pizza Hut jakoś sobie radziły i do dziś są aktywne na naszym rynku. Dominos Pizza i Burger King po pierwszym niepowodzeniu wycofały się z polskiego rynku i wróciły kilka lat temu. Dunkin Donuts i Taco Bell nie udało się zawojować polskiego rynku. W momencie ich wejścia nie było u nas miejsca dla tylu różnorodnych barów szybkiej obsługi, zwłaszcza z produktami mało spotykanymi do tej pory w Polsce - amerykańskimi pączkami i jedzeniem meksykańskim. O wycofaniu się z polskiego rynku zadecydowały kiepskie wyniki finansowe.

Domino’s Pizza 

• Headquartered in Ann Arbor, MI
• 5,016 USA stores (10/14).
• The new store incorporates a pizza theater store design, comprising a lobby, a clear view of the food preparing process, a lobby screen which electronically keeps track of carryout orders and a chalkboard where customers can leave a feedback.
