Taco Bell to open newest fast-food outlet in Pahrump
by Pete Peters
Taco Bell of Nevada is looking for an October opening of
its first Nye County fast-food outlet in Pahrum p on the corner
of Matthew Lane and Hwy 160.
David Bonanni, vice president of development for Taco
Bell of Nevada, told the Gazette that construction would
begin July 15.
He said the 50-seat restaurant is slightly smaller than other
Taco Bell chains because of the 25,000-square-foot lot size.
"Our normal lot sizes range from 35,000 to 40,000 square
feet," Bonanni said via telephone from his Las Vegas office.
Bonanni said the Pahrump Taco Bell would employ 26
crew members, two assistant managers and one general
manager.
"We will hire our entire staff from the Pahrump area,"
Bonanni stated.
The new restaurant will not be open 24 hours, he said.
"We (Taco Bell) never have a round-the-clock store when
it first opens," Bonanni explained. "We'll close this one at 1
a.m. After a month of operation, we will re-evaluate the
store's potential and then perhaps change its hours."
Bonanni recognizes the competition nearby-- McDonald' s
and Burger King -- but is also aware that Pahrump is a
growing community and could easily support another fast-
food outlet.
"We flew over the area in a helicopter today (Monday,
June 9) and saw the tremendous growth in Pahrump," Bonanni
said. "We know there's a lot of interest in Taco Bell out there
from the phone calls we've received from the residents.
They're anxious to know when we're going to put a restaurant
there."
Although the start of construction is slated for mid-July,
Bonanni said that bidding for the job will be opened in a
couple of weeks. He said Pahrump-area contractors are
welcome to put in their bids as well as Clark County builders.
By the time the Pahrump restaurant is built, Bonanni said,
Taco Bell will have opened another outlet in Las Vegas.
"Pahrump will be our 20th Las Vegas-area location," he
said. "It will be our 28th Taco Bell in Nevada and will boast
our newest image for 1997."
Bonanni said people interested in working for Taco Bell
can call the Las Vegas office at (702) 880-5818.
