BROADWAY TACO BELL EXPANDING

Taco Bell is expanding.

"We're bringing our seating capacity to 75," said Lorie Berner, manager of the restaurant at 1740 Broadway. "We're also providing additional parking space in the back of the building."

Berner said the 10 x 38-foot expansion which will adjoin the present building, has been in the planning stages for more than a year.

"The new addition should be completed within three to four weeks," said Berner.

David Freeze of St. Louis is the franchise holder for the Broadway Taco Bell.

"Our business has been increasing," said Berner. "There are times when we have lines waiting for a place to sit. Hopefully, the new expansion take care of that."
