MAHOMET — Taco Bell could be the next addition to Mahomet's growing east side.

After local realty firm Guth and Associates teased the possibility in a Facebook post — which asked, "Hey Mahomet….anyone like Taco Bell?" — The News-Gazette decided to look into whether or not Mahomet residents might soon have an opportunity to think outside the bun.

"The Village of Mahomet has received site development plans for a Taco Bell to be located directly west of the Culver's location on Patton Drive," said Village Administrator Patrick Brown. "...We have not received any building plans yet for the project."

There are five Taco Bells in Champaign-Urbana, each about 10 miles away from Mahomet.

The brand has over 8,000 locations in the United States, including approximately 200 in Illinois.
