Taco Bell #1714[1] was a Taco Bell restaurant located at 2721 Douglas Avenue in Racine, Wisconsin. The location opened in August 1979 and closed in October 1994, when it was replaced by Taco Bell #31987.
History[edit | edit source]
On August 18, 1978, real estate developer Richard R. Monfeli purchased a service station building at 2721 Douglas Avenue and the neighboring house at 2715 Douglas Avenue.[1] After briefly offering it for sale to the Open Pantry convenience store chain in February 1979, he sold the combined property to Taco Bell on April 18.[1] Construction started on the new restaurant building, the second Taco Bell restaurant in Racine, the following week. The restaurant opened in August.[2]
In 1992, the Racine Journal Times reported that nearby residents were frequently complaining about late-night noise and loitering at the restaurant, with some nicknaming it "taco hell".[3] The restaurant closed in October 1994, when it was replaced by Taco Bell #31987 less than a mile to the north.[4]
