Arkansas-based Taco Bell franchisee, K-Mac, is for sale through its private equity firm, Lee Equity Partners. The company is seeking $900 million for K-Mac's 300-plus Taco Bell locations, as well as a handful of Golden Corral restaurants, according to a report in Barron's.

The restaurants are in the south-central U.S., and last year turned in $485 million in revenue, according to Moody's.

Taco Bell is under the parent company of Yum Brands, which encompasses 50,000 restaurants under the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands. Taco Bell had not responded to requests for comment at the time of this story's publication.
