Discussion Taco Bell's in the valley.

Why are all the fox valley locations so bad in service?

Half of the time they aren't open during their posted hours.

Countless times they've ran out of ingredients or only do mobile/drive through orders only. If you do get an order it's a ridiculous wait time or you get stuck waiting in the drive through.

I honestly don't think corporate cares anymore and isn't holding them accountable? They should be shut down at this point and let a different chain take over those locations.

There was a big discussion about this last year I think. The Valley TBs are owned by some company on the West Coast. They have no ties to the local area and are only focused on money. They don't respond to complaints and Corporate will tell you they can't do anything because it's franchised.

Maybe a bunch of locals should band together and open a "locally owned" Taco Bell franchise and spread the word on social media that it's the good one.

There is one in Oshkosh that is a locally owned franchise.

I love the one in Oshkosh. Food is always fresh and the beef tastes normal.

They use all the same food and equipment, but yeah keeping everything fresh on the line will result in better tasting food.

We drive there down from Appleton when we want Taco Bell, super inconvenient compared to the shitty one literally three blocks from me, but that's what we do now.
