The City of Swan has received a development application to build a gym, five showrooms, drive through liquor store and seven fast food outlets, including Taco Bell, on a vacant site on The Promenade in Ellenbrook.

Collins Foods, which also holds the franchisee rights to KFC in Australia and Sizzler in Asia, opened its first Taco Bell down under in Queensland in 2017.

It currently operates 16 Taco Bell restaurants across Queensland and Victoria.

Taco Bell opened its first store in California in 1962 and has now grown to more than 7,000 restaurants worldwide.

The restaurants serve a variety of Mexican-inspired foods including tacos, burritos, quesadillas and nachos.
