In January of 2015 the world found out that the first Taco Bell was in danger of being demolished. After the corporation intervened to save its first location, work began to coordinate and execute its relocation so that the building could be spared and given a new use.
On November 19, 2015 the building was successfully relocated from its original location at 7112 Firestone Boulevard in Downey to the Taco Bell Corporate Headquarters in Irvine.
Plans are to use the historic building for youth programs.
RIP Numero Uno Taco Bell :(
