Taco Bell Reopening Previously Closed Location on June 14
Just last month on May 22, Taco Bell announced a new offering for customers in connection with a popular hot sauce.
The restaurant revealed the "fiery" release of the new Mike's Hot Honey Diablo Sauce on the beloved chain's crispy chicken nuggets. It's the first time hot honey brand has ever collaborated to create a brand-new take on the condiment sweeping the nation.
'We didn't just drop a new sauce, we unlocked a totally new way to experience nuggets with an entirely new take on hot honey,' Liz Matthews, Taco Bell's Global Chief Food Innovation Officer said in a statement. 'Our sauces spark obsession – fans collect them, remix them and make them part of who they are. Teaming up with Mike's Hot Honey, which has a passionate following of its own, felt like the ultimate way to build on our legacies of sauce innovation. Now we've got this delicious sweet-heat experience that transforms every dip, dunk, or drizzle into something fans have never tasted from us before.'
One previously closed location will be able to offer its guests the new experience in the near future. On June 10, Diversified Restaurant Group, one of the largest Taco Bell franchisees operating more than 350 restaurants, announced the grand reopening of its Lenexa, Kansas Taco Bell location.
The restaurant will officially reopen on June 14 at 11 a.m. ET. The first 50 guests in line will receive a free Taco Bell-branded frisbee or bottle opener, plus a raffle ticket for a chance to win a Taco Bell-branded pickleball set or tote bag.
'Our guests can look forward to a stylish new dining experience with exceptional service,' Kara Ramirez, VP of Operations for Diversified Restaurant Group, Kansas City said in a statement. 'We are excited to introduce innovative digital features that simplify the ordering process, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.'
The Lenexa location offers dine-in, online ordering for pickup and delivery, and catering services for large groups. The restaurant is open every day from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m.Taco Bell Reopening Previously Closed Location on June 14 first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 11, 2025

Motorsport is one of the most physically demanding sports on the planet, where optimum hydration can be the difference between winning and losing. This partnership allows us to bring our decades of sports science expertise directly to the next generation of elite drivers. By supporting young women at the start of their motorsport journey, we're not just setting them up for success at such a pivotal part of their career, we are encouraging them to see what is in them and fuel their drive and ambition for success. That's what our Fuel Tomorrow initiative is all about." To celebrate the partnership, F1 ACADEMY Wild Card driver Mathilda Paatz will debut the Gatorade race car and suit at this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. The 16-year-old from Cologne, Germany, will drive the branded car around one of the most iconic tracks on the F1 calendar, marking the start of this landmark collaboration in front of F1's millions of fans across the globe. Wild Card driver, Mathilda Paatz said: "I'm beyond excited to have been selected as the Wild Card driver for Round 4 of F1 ACADEMY at the Canadian Grand Prix, driving the Gatorade race car. Growing up, I was captivated by the theatre of racing – the energy, the passion, and how drivers carried the pride of their teams. To now be racing on a Formula 1 weekend, with fans around the world watching, is a dream come true. I'm especially proud to partner with Gatorade, a brand that's championed athletes at every level and is helping pave the way for the next generation of women in motorsport." The announcement of this milestone partnership comes at a time of significant audience growth for F1 ACADEMY, with the highly anticipated documentary, F1: THE ACADEMY, now streaming globally on Netflix, in addition to broadcasts in over 170 territories. "We're proud to welcome Gatorade to the F1 ACADEMY family," said Susie Wolff, Managing Director of F1 ACADEMY. "What has impressed me most about Gatorade is how seriously they're investing in our drivers, not just as athletes, but as individuals with incredible potential. This isn't a surface-level sponsorship, it's a deeply hands-on partnership that brings world-class hydration science and performance expertise directly to our paddock. With the world-class expertise of Gatorade, not only will our drivers be better equipped to perform at their peak, but they'll also gain knowledge and tools that will serve them throughout their careers." This collaboration follows PepsiCo's recently announced multi-year worldwide official partnership with F1, running until 2030. More details of the brand partnership and how Gatorade will be working with the F1 ACADEMY drivers will be shared in the lead-up to the sponsorship's official commencement in the 2026 Formula 1 Season. "At PepsiCo, we believe in the power of platforms and partnerships to shape the future of sport – and to do so with purpose," said Jane Wakely, PepsiCo's Chief Consumer and Marketing Officer. "This historic global partnership with F1, one of the world's fastest growing sports, is a bold step forward in our mission to fuel fandom, create culture-driving moments and incredible brand experiences on a global scale." 1Source: ESPN About PepsiCo PepsiCo products are enjoyed by consumers more than one billion times a day in more than 200 countries and territories around the world.

Taco Bell unveils surprising new menu items that threaten McDonald's
Food trends come and go, but one reigns supreme, still beloved by adults and kids alike. Maybe it's nostalgia or the food's simplicity. Either way, nothing is more irresistible than crispy chicken, and Taco Bell is determined to make its version the best on the market. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter A growing chicken trend has emerged among fast-food chains, with major players like Chick-fil-A, Raising Cane's, McDonald's (MCD) , and Restaurant Brands International's (QSR) Burger King and Popeyes focusing on launching new chicken-based products to dominate the sector. Related: Taco Bell reveals 30 new menu items launching in 2025 As a fast-food leader, Taco Bell decided to enter the chicken game. However, it isn't just hopping on a trend; it's creating a version with its own unmistakable flavor. Crispy Chicken Nuggets first debuted on Taco Bell's menu in December of last year, and while available, they made up nearly one in six orders. This menu item was so successful that almost 5 million customers tried it, which caused it to sell out nationwide in under a week. The product's success might be due to its uniqueness, since Taco Bell tested over 50 recipes and flavor combinations to make the nuggets stand out from the rest. Related: Taco Bell menu adds more items customers demanded Taco Bell's Crispy Chicken Nuggets are made with all-white meat chicken marinated in jalapeño buttermilk and coated in a crunchy tortilla-chip and breadcrumb blend. Because of how much fans love the Crispy Chicken Nuggets, Taco Bell relaunched them for a limited time in April. The demand was so overwhelming that it decided to expand the product even further. Yum! Brands' (YUM) Taco Bell is launching the new Crispy Chicken Tacos and Burritos, featuring the fan-favorite Crispy Chicken Nuggets in strip form. The Crispy Chicken Tacos and Burritos are filled with Crispy Chicken Strips, purple cabbage, crisp lettuce, pico de gallo, and shredded cheddar cheese, all folded or wrapped inside a warm tortilla. Everyone knows no Taco Bell meal is complete without a good dipping sauce, so in addition to the new items, the fast-food chain is also introducing two new sauces: Spicy Ranchero and Avocado Ranch. "Crispy chicken is having a moment, but our fans made it a movement," said Taco Bell's Chief Marketing Officer Taylor Montgomery in a press release. "So, we decided to bring our sell-out Nuggets recipe to the formats that defined our brand because true innovation means elevating the icons, not replacing them. We're not like every other chicken spot out there; we're doing crispy chicken the only way we know how: full of flavor and unmistakably Taco Bell."
