Congratulations to you and your success. We need your 4th Taco Mell's in Compton. Maybe not an independent location but in a shared establishment where you can share their customer. Somewhere that people would have to wait a long time and would have no other options at the time. Maybe a food truck at the DMV or at the Laundry Mat or a popular Car Wash.
