Taco Bell Purchases 7 Bojangles Restaurants

Irvine-based Taco Bell has purchased seven Bojangles’ restaurants in Nashville for an undisclosed sum, both companies said Friday.

New York-based Horn & Hardart Co., which sold the restaurants, did not disclose the transaction’s terms. A Taco Bell spokesman said the units will be operated as Taco Bell restaurants.

Taco Bell, a division of Pepsico, operates 2,500 restaurants across the United States.
