Taco Bell plans to start demolition of its restaurant at 1000 Brown St. after Labor Day, with a goal of opening its newly built successor by Christmas, a spokeswoman for Taco Bell said.

The new restaurant is Taco Bell’s latest design, spokeswoman Alexxis Cardenas said, and will boost seating by 20. The new 2,100-square-foot, 54-seat restaurant will retain the same general layout and traffic pattern, including a drive-through window, but will add a patio seating area in the front, facing Brown Street.

The store will add 20 employees in preparation for the opening, Cardenas said. The store’s current employees will work at the franchisee’s 16 other Taco Bell locations in the region during the rebuild, she said.

The raze-and-rebuild project near Miami Valley Hospital and the University of Dayton comes on the heels of other Taco Bell investments in the area, including the relocation earlier this year of a Taco Bell on Kettering Boulevard near West Dorothy Lane in Moraine to a larger, refurbished former bank branch across the street.
