## Story

Taco Bell is hoping to reach 9,000 locations in the U.S. by 2022. To do so the company plans to focus more on hiring and retention and expects to add 100,000 new jobs over the next six years, according to a recent Nation’s Restaurant article.

Currently, the quick-service chain employs close to 40,000 people at company owned locations and an additional 170,000 employees at the franchise restaurants.

“Our planned growth over the next six years is going to help us reach $15 billion in global system sales by 2022. With that comes the need to attract and retain top talent so that we’re continuing to deliver the best customer experience possible,” Taco Bell CEO Brian Niccol said in a statement.

The company’s “Start With Us, Stay With Us” program that was launched earlier this month aims to retain employees with educational and career building programs. According to the brand, 600,00 workers have committed to graduating high school and more than 200 employees are in the GED program.
