KFC and Taco Bell to return to Fort Stockton

Body

The joint Taco Bell/KFC restaurant, previously located on Highway 285 in Fort Stockton, burned to the ground back in October of 2020. The two restaurants under one roof were declared a total loss and the property has remained vacant until present day.

“They will be built as two different buildings at the same location,” revealed Development Lead Larry Rules. “We’re bringing in the latest Taco Bell design, which is called the Endeavor design. This model looks great. The whole thing is going to look nice, trust me.”
