Taco Bill will celebrate the opening of its new Chadstone store on 15 September, the eve of Mexican Independence Day.

The Mexican food franchise will not only be giving away its food on the day, but will also be handing out door prizes and kids packs.

Celebrations will go from 12pm to 3pm and will see Mexican folk band Mariachi Los Romanticos performing.

Taco Bill director Tom Kartel said, “Officially acknowledging the opening of our Chadstone store gives us great pleasure.  We opened a store here to give back to some of our longest-standing customers, who we identified as devoted Chadstone shoppers wanting to combine Taco Bill into their overall experience.”

The Chadstone store is located next to the Woolworths entrance at F017 Chadstone Shopping Centre. Shoppers and local residents are encouraged to come along and join in the festivities.

The 15th September will mark the opening of the 37th Taco Bill restaurant and forms part of an aggressive growth strategy with eight new restaurant openings in the past twelve months and more schedule for the coming weeks.
