Also popular this week, a story about Taco Bell’s first Cantina in Hollywood, which opened with digital technology and DJ parties. The unit — the first in Los Angeles — opened inside a former Hollywood Golden Age bookstore on Hollywood Boulevard. Though the Cantinas have been around for nearly a decade, the brand is constantly looking to upgrade these urban stores aimed at younger customers.
