Exciting News: Taco John’s Cares for Wyoming Community
Cheyenne, WY (RestaurantNews.com) In a year marked by dauntless menu innovations, vital enhance and even an account battle over the Taco Tuesday trademark, Taco John’s continues to hold on to its heart and heritage deeply embedded in its historical fatherland of Cheyenne.
From humble beginnings on the Cheyenne Frontier Days to becoming a loved national franchise, the brand’s signature flavors are widely renowned. For over half a century, Taco John’s has not only satisfied appetites, but also given back generously to the communities it serves.
The brand’s steadfast dedication to charity – exemplified by annual campaigns like Nachos Navidad® alongside ongoing support for local not-for-profits – has generated over $650,000 in donations to Wyoming-based organizations in the last five years alone. This year, the firm is partnering with HOPE, the Hispanic Organization for Progress and Training. Taco John’s has partnered with HOPE in years past and is a major supporter of their mission in Wyoming. Additionally, Taco John’s partnership with CORE – Childhood of Restaurant Workers – further exemplifies its dedication to the food service industry.
“Taco John’s began in Cheyenne with grit, dedication to service and compassion,” said CEO Jim Creel. “While we’ve expanded our company footprint to serve customers in the eastern part of the country, our roots go deep in Wyoming.”
Though parts of the corporate team have relocated to Minneapolis, the firm’s headquarters still firmly remain in Cheyenne, in the same building on 20th Avenue where they’ve been for decades. As its leadership looks ahead to 2024, Taco John’s legacy of authenticity, innovation, and team engagement remains firmly rooted in its Wyoming heritage, promising an exciting future that honors the Wild West spirit that has defined the brand since its inception.
