Our Story
In 1977, former President, Larry Durrett opened his first quick-service restaurant, Taco Plaza, in Jacksonville, Texas. Due to the success of this one store, he then opened four more restaurants over a span of 6 years in the following cities: Lufkin, Henderson, Longview, and Athens. In 1983 PepsiCo recognized that Taco Bell could be a dominant chain in Texas and the United States but for the presence of Taco Plaza. so Mr. Durrett decided to convert his locations to Taco Bell and kept building and buying locations along the way.
Today, Southern Multifoods, Inc. owns and operates 115 units, all being Taco Bells or at least having a Taco Bell component in them. Southern Multifoods, Inc. currently operates two Taco Bell/Long John Silver’s, and one hundred-thirteen Taco Bells.
