DUVAL COUNTY, Fla. – With at least 29 restaurants in Northeast Florida, Taco Bell is considering at least four more in Duval County and three more in St. Johns County, according to the Jacksonville Daily Record.
That potentially kicks up the international taco chain’s presence in Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns counties to 36.

The predominantly franchised fast-food chain of Mexican-inspired restaurants has 8,250 locations in the U.S., with 207 in Florida, according to TacoBell.com. It recently added new menu items like the Enchirito, Cantina Chicken Mexican Pizza, Cantina Veggie Mexican Pizza and Strawberry Cinnabon Delights.
Taco Bell is a division of Yum Brands Inc., which also owns KFC and Habit Burger & Grill. It has agreed to sell Pizza Hut.
One of the proposed Duval County Taco Bell locations is the closed Bank of America branch in Baymeadows.
City power provider JEA issued a service availability letter Feb. 3 for “Point Meadows Commercial,” and associated infrastructure at the branch on an outparcel at the Point Meadows shopping center at northwest Interstate 295 and Baymeadows Road.
A JEA service availability request means a project is being explored and has not been decided.
The four new prospective Taco Bells in Jacksonville are shown in June 24 requests to JEA to determine the service availability.
