With the U.S. almost completely saturated, Taco Bell is looking to international markets for development. <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-04/taco-bell-plans-explosive-growth-in-australia-after-sales-jump?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=bloomberg-taco-bell-plans-explosive-australian-growth-as-sales-jump-2706191" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">According to Bloomberg</a>, one of the highest priorities on its list as it aims to expand on a global level is Australia.

Taco Bell opened its first Australian restaurant in Brisbane last November, and so far, sales are several million dollars higher than a typical unit. That&rsquo;s why the brand is now working with its franchisee in the country to fuel rapid growth. In an interview quoted by Bloomberg, Liz Williams, Taco Bell International&rsquo;s president, said, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re talking to them about some pretty explosive growth. It&rsquo;s going to be a top market for us.&rdquo;

What positions Taco Bell for rapid growth in international markets is a lack of Mexican food options outside of the U.S. In Australia, for example, the brand sells California burritos, quesadillas and nachos as well as beer and margaritas. Taco Bell isn&rsquo;t the only fast food chain that&rsquo;s experiencing success in the country&mdash;McDonald&rsquo;s is seeing growth in Australia, too.
