The first Taco Bell Defy will be a 3,000 square foot two-story structure with not two but four drive-thru lanes. The new concept’s construction will be taking place in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. It will be a collaboration between Border Foods, the largest private Taco Bell franchisee, and Vertical Works, Inc, a Minneapolis-based design company.
In a press release, Taco Bell’s President and Global COO, Mike Grams, said:
“Partnering with our franchisees to test new concepts is a huge unlock of learning for us. What we learn from the test of this new Defy concept may help shape future Taco Bell restaurants.”

In addition, three of the new concept’s drive-thru lanes will be specifically for pick-up and mobile orders. They will allow customers to interact with employees through video and audio options. To enhance the experience of contactless ordering, customers will use a QR code to scan in their orders and retrieve their orders from the “bell-evator.”
