I might consider giving up my right arm if Menards made this. I've looked into having the older style (think 1990's) Taco Bell's laser cut. There is already a great kit in HO that just needs scaled up. I love my trains, but Taco Bell is pretty high up on that list as well. My first real job in High School was at a Taco Bell and for some reason I still like it all these years later. 

Last year we flew out to California and had dinner at their main test kitchen. It was a once in a lifetime experience that I'm glad we were able to participate in. So bottom line, yes please can we have an O gauge Taco Bell?

It is a cool building and Menards should make one.

But on a sad note all the taco bells in my area haved closed. I love Taco Bell.

I'm sorry, I can't answer this question.. Bob

Taco Bells closing!  America is in serious decline...

Thanks Dad! I think that actually answers the question! LOL

Menards should make the vintage Taco Bell building in O scale.

I agree with Play Trains. I am making space across the street from Starbucks!

It must include 8 automobiles to wrap around the drive thru lane to be prototypically correct.

I’m sure it will be issued in O scale. Menards has produced more buildings in O than it has in HO, up until now in that order, so I’m looking forward to the announcement whenever it comes.

Given the design is already in place, there is no question it will look exactly like the HO version.

I’ll have to make room for this one on a future layout, even though I have likely exceeded the available space for all the buildings— Menards, Department 56, Lemax, Lionel and MTH — I have on hand already.

Per 'Demolition Man' Taco Bell was the only restaurant left after 'the wars'......so yes...we need one in scale!

How does a Taco Bell close ?

They sell like...a billion dollars worth of oatmeal slury and taco sleeves  a day all over the world 😄

That would be awesome!!!

My brother wants me to convert my layout to HO so I can have the Menards Taco Bell on it. I don't have the space to add an O scale one, sadly.

The property has been purchased and I am ready for construction to begin!

Agreed with vintage! Modern just sucks!!! Like pain Jane vanilla.

But I have to admit, 

The above pic are the Taco Bell franchises that I grew up with since College in the early 1990's

on a similar note?

Chick-fil-a announced they would deliver in a ten mile radius of their locations. So

So who wants to buy my house, with the trains?

That's similar to the one near East Los Angeles College near my office. Nice.

I'd still like to see an In-n-Out Burger like [I think] Stu built a few years ago. The only problem is that you need at least 20 cars for the drive-through lane for it to look realistic (unless you're modeling opening day in Allen, Texas in which case you'd need about 500 cars).
