SG Blocks Installs Shipping Container-Based Taco Bell in California

by Nellie Day

LOS ANGELES — SG Blocks and Alvarado Restaurant Group will move a former popup Taco Bell location to its permanent location in the South Gate submarket of Los Angeles. The five-module, 1,080-square-foot restaurant was previously used at the 2016 South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference & Festivals in Austin, Texas. Alvarado Restaurant Group, part of Alvarado Cos., is the franchise owner for the Taco Bell in South Gate.

SG Blocks partnered with Alvarado Construction Inc. to install the Taco Bell at its new, permanent location. The companies are currently completing all final utility work, paving and landscaping.

Alvarado Cos. currently owns 110 other Taco Bells in Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Wisconsin and California. The Taco Bell will be open at its permanent home in South Gate by the end of 2016.
