Welcome to our Restaurant Family. We’re Pacific Bells, a Franchisee of Taco Bell. We operate over 300 Restaurants in 11 States and have a lot more growth in the works. Pacific Bells, LLC was founded by Dennis and Anna January in 1986. After establishing their first store in Tualatin, Oregon, which is still open to this day, Tom Cook partnered with the founders with a goal to open multiple Taco Bell restaurants in the Pacific Northwest. What began as one store in Oregon has become one of the largest franchisees of the Taco Bell Corporation.
