After closing abruptly earlier this summer, the Taco Bell in Yorkville is reopening under new management early this fall.

One big change for customers, the KFC, fried chicken portion has been fired. All the KFC equipment and menu items have been removed, leaving a standalone Taco Bell at the 221 W. Veterans Parkway location.

Taco Bell is taking over the full 2,950-square-foot location. The reopening is being guided by the Shamrock Company of Hinsdale, which owns 35 other Taco Bell locations and 15 other restaurants across four states.
