Since 1994, Walmart has leased space to fast food chains, starting with McDonald's. However, by 2020, McDonald's closed over 100 locations within Walmart. In response, Walmart began partnering with other restaurants, including Taco Bell, which started testing in-store locations in 2021. As of 2026, Walmart plans to remodel over 650 stores and open 20 new ones, potentially increasing Taco Bell's presence. Additionally, Walmart was the first to sell Taco Bell's Cravings Kits, marking a significant collaboration between the two companies.
