A Little About Del Taco
If you’re new to the Del Taco scene, let’s take a quick trip down memory lane. This beloved chain was founded way back in 1964 in Yermo, California by Ed Hackbarth and David Jameson. Initially, they were well-known for their affordable menu—think 19-cent tacos and 24-cent cheeseburgers! Though their menu has undoubtedly evolved, the spirit of bringing innovative and delicious options remains.
The Bold Move to Change
The news doesn’t end there! Del Taco is also looking at strategic options, including a potential sale, to enhance shareholder returns. However, amidst these changes, they are still focused on serving up tasty food to their customers. Just recently, they celebrated National Avocado Day with promotions and food festivities, proving they know how to keep the fun going!
Sales Update
As Del Taco looks to innovate with new menu items like fried pickle tacos, it’s important to mention that they are also facing some challenges. Their preliminary second-quarter same-store sales showed a drop of 3.6%. Nevertheless, they remain a strong contender in the competitive fast-food scene, ranking No. 6 on the local restaurant company list as of May 2024.
