Taco Bell is coming to Medicine Hat’s south end in December

Mar 15, 2024 | 10:36 AM

Grilled cheesy burritos, chicken quesadillas and the infamous Baja Blast will soon be accessible without driving two hours away.

Taco Bell, a U.S.-based fast food chain serving Mexican-inspired meals, is finally coming to Medicine Hat.

Rumours began swirling about the future of Taco Bell opening in the city after a sign was posted at a south end property.

A spokesperson for Taco Bell Canada told CHAT News the Medicine Hat location is slated to open in December at 1071 Ross Glen Dr. SE.

The confirmation comes after a new Taco Bell was opened in Cold Lake.

New locations are also planned for Edmonton and Calgary this year, according to a news release from Redberry Taco Bell, an operator in Alberta.

Currently, the closest Taco Bell is located in Lethbridge.
