Taco Bell Moving Across City Avenue in May, Adding Jobs
The Philadelphia restaurant will close the same time the new one at Conshohocken State Road opens, according to the property owners.
A Taco Bell and Pizza Hut Express is scheduled to open May 10 at City Avenue and Conshohocken State Road in Bala Cynwyd, a representative of the property owners told Patch Thursday.
Samuel Nasuti of Bala Investors said his company will shut down its existing Taco Bell/Pizza Hut Express roughly the same day. It's on the Philadelphia side of City Avenue a quarter-mile to the north of the construction site, where ground broke in mid-December.
Some of the current restaurant's 27 employees will move to the new one, but with the owners planning a staff of 65 there, there will be plenty of hiring before opening day.

"We're projecting a much higher volume due to the superior location, larger size, easier drive-through access and new building," Nasuti said.
The Taco Bell chain introduced breakfast menus at selected stores nationwide Thursday, the Associated Press reported. Said Nasuti: "We expect the new store to carry breakfast in the future."
