Golden Gate Bell Restaurant Holdings LLC, the holding company of Taco Bell franchisee Golden Gate Bell LLC, has acquired 13 Taco Bell restaurants from Dallas-based Aksan United Fortune. The Aksan restaurants are located primarily in Sonoma and Napa Counties, California, and their acquisition comes on the heels of GGB’s recent purchase of 72 San Francisco Bay Area Taco Bell restaurants from Dolan Foster Enterprises.

According to a news release, management of the additional restaurants will be assumed by the Pleasanton, California-based GGB executive team led by Randy Rodrigues, Paul Luce and Monica Schneider.  With this acquisition, Golden Gate Bell now operates 85 Taco Bell restaurants and becomes the largest Taco Bell franchisee in California as well as one of the larger franchisees of the brand in the US.
