New Taco Bell Planned Near Legends Ranch as Prime Square Continues to Grow Along FM 1314
Residents of Legends Ranch could soon have another convenient dining option just minutes from home as plans move forward for a new Taco Bell restaurant at 16355 FM 1314 in Conroe.
According to recently filed construction information, the project calls for a 2,115-square-foot Taco Bell restaurant as part of the Prime Square development along the rapidly growing FM 1314 corridor. Construction is scheduled to begin September 15, 2026, with completion anticipated by December 15, 2026. The project carries an estimated construction value of $1.5 million.
For residents of Legends Ranch, the project represents another sign of the continued commercial growth taking shape throughout eastern Montgomery County, where expanding residential neighborhoods are attracting additional restaurants, retail businesses, and everyday services closer to home.
Another Dining Option for a Growing Area
The new Taco Bell will be located at 16355 FM 1314 in Conroe, a corridor that has experienced steady development as nearby communities continue to welcome new residents.
While the restaurant is still in the planning and construction phase, the addition would provide another quick-service dining choice for commuters, families, and residents traveling along FM 1314. As commercial investment continues in the area, projects like this can help reduce the need for longer trips by bringing more everyday conveniences closer to nearby neighborhoods, including Legends Ranch.
The filing identifies the project as a new construction Taco Bell restaurant with a planned building size of 2,115 square feet.
A Brand That Has Grown Into a Global Restaurant Chain
Founded in 1962 by entrepreneur Glen Bell in Downey, California, Taco Bell has grown from a single taco stand into one of the world's largest quick-service Mexican-inspired restaurant brands.

The restaurant has built its reputation around affordable menu offerings and customizable options that appeal to a wide range of tastes. Popular menu items include tacos, burritos, quesadillas, Crunchwrap Supreme®, nachos, Mexican Pizza, breakfast selections at participating locations, vegetarian choices certified by the American Vegetarian Association, and a variety of limited-time offerings that rotate throughout the year.
Many newer Taco Bell locations also feature digital ordering, mobile app pickup, self-service kiosks, and drive-thru service designed to accommodate customers looking for quick and convenient meal options.
