A second Taco Bell is on its way, according to a city website.  

Taco Bell has plans to open its second location in Maricopa on the northeast corner of North Stonegate Road and West Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway, according to the city. 

The fast-food Mexican eatery is among a collection of businesses coming to The Wells shopping center, including Slim Chickens, Bosa Donuts, Tractor Supply, Home Depot and a second Burger King. 

Established in 1962, the California-based fast-food chain is one of the biggest in the world, with a strong presence in the United States and various other countries. There are over 180 locations in Arizona. 

InMaricopa has reached out to Taco Bell but has not yet received a response.
