The entire Taco Bell family of employees and franchisees are deeply saddened by the loss of our Founder Glen Bell. With Glen Bell’s passing, we’ve lost one of our country’s great entrepreneurs and innovators, but his legacy lives on in our people and our brand.

There have been many news articles, television shows, and even the biography Taco Titan, chronicling the life and business ventures of Glen Bell, and the common themes have always been Glen’s innovative spirit, willingness to risk and his deep love of God, country and family.

Not only was Glen Bell a great man, he’s been an exceptional leadership example for our brand. We owe him much and promise to continue his dream.

—Greg Creed, Taco Bell President & Chief Concept Officer
