The long-awaited arrival of Taco Bell in Amherstburg is here.


The fast food restaurant opened Tuesday at 527 Sandwich St. S., with a ribbon cutting held Monday afternoon to celebrate Taco Bell’s arrival. The restaurant was opened by Redberry Restaurants, a leading fast-food franchisee in North America.


““We are pleased to be expanding into new communities,” said Chelsea Kellock, vice-president of marketing, Redberry Restaurants. “It’s exciting for us to bring Taco Bell favourites to fans and introduce our craveable flavours and signature items like the Baja Blast to new guests.”


Kellock added the company has committed to positively impacting communities it serves through fundraising and collaborations with its partner brands. To mark the grand opening of the Amherstburg location, Redberry is holding a fundraiser in support of the Taco Bell Foundation.


The Taco Bell Foundation works to provide scholarships to youth pursuing higher education and creating brighter futures, one donation at a time.


For those who receive a special fundraising coupon starting on February 17th, a minimum $2 donation can be made to support education for youth in exchange for a Crunchwrap. Customers must have a coupon to be eligible for the offer.



A second ribbon cutting was held inside the Taco Bell location at 527 Sandwich St. S. in Amherstburg.

Steve Pereira, brand director with Redberry/Taco Bell, said the Amherstburg location was the 33rd restaurant the company has opened in Canada. They are now up to 34, as a new location was also opened in Medicine Hat, Alberta.


“We’re really excited to be here in Amherstburg,” he said. “We appreciate the welcome into your community.”


Pereira said they enjoy opening up in communities such as Amherstburg.

“We love joining smaller communities like Amherstburg,” he said. 


Mayor Michael Prue said he has fielded numerous questions on when Taco Bell was going to open. He thanked Taco Bell for the trust they have in the community in order to open a new drive-thru restaurant here.


The opening of businesses like Taco Bell is helping Amherstburg to grow, he added. Prue added he hopes the new restaurant is a great success and that the company is able to open even more locations across Canada.


“We really want to tell people this place is open,” said Prue. “I wish you much success.”
