Westborough Taco Bell Ribbon Cutting Draws Large Crowd

WESTBOROUGH _ Business, municipal, school, and local civic leaders and many town residents filled the Westborough Taco Bell to capacity for its official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony November 19 at its new Route 9 location next to Not Your Average Joe’s. Those in attendance heard accolades from state and local officials who touted the virtues of having Taco Bell in the region.

“Taco Bell Westborough is bringing additional food choices and jobs to our area,” said Westborough Town Planner Jim Robbins. “We’re happy they are here.”

Westborough Board of Selectmen Chairman George Barrette noted a recent Yelp review by a patron who praised the restaurant for its courteous and consistent food experience.
“We’re very proud and thrilled to have Taco Bell here. We love choices,” Barrette added.

State Representative Carolyn Dykema and State Representative Danielle Gregoire presented David Lockwood, one of the principals of Lockwood/McKinnon Group, LLC, which owns the Westborough Taco Bell, with a Citation on behalf of the State Legislature.

“We congratulate Taco Bell on its Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and future success,” Dykema said.

“It’s always exciting to give different lifestyle choices for families around the area,” Gregoire added.

Additional congratulations and well-wishes were offered by Deborah Penta, Chair of the Westborough Economic Development Committee, and Karen Chapman, President of the Corridor Nine Area Chamber of Commerce.

Lockwood said his organization was elated to be bringing Taco Bell to the region.

“We are very happy to be here in Westborough,” he said. “Tell your family and friends we’re here and that we are ready to support local groups and charities through fundraising opportunities. We want to help the community.”

Easy access for east and west traffic makes getting in and out of the Taco Bell a simple and safe experience.

“Customers who need to go eastbound can easily exit past the office building onto Indian Meadow Road and turn left at the light to head East on Route 9,” Lockwood said. “It’s the perfect location for both westbound and eastbound travelers.”

The Lockwood/McKinnon Group, LLC owns 23 other Taco Bells in Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Owners include Roger Lockwood, David Lockwood and Gordon McKinnon. The organization has been building and operating Taco Bell restaurants since 1989.
