What Happened to Taco Johns??
The Taco John's on 84th closed, and it looks like the one in Bellevue closed as well. Anyone know what the reasons were? I know the stretch along 84th has been dropping businesses alot but they always seemed to have traffic there.

The one in Bellevue closed a long time ago. Â I think right after Simmons sold them.Zilla wrote:The Taco John's on 84th closed, and it looks like the one in Bellevue closed as well.

The one in Lavista closed about a month ago. Â It was a complete dump.

When did Simmonds sell the Taco Johns? Â I knew he sold back his 70-something Burger Kings to BK Corp in 2008.Brad wrote: The one in Bellevue closed a long time ago. I think right after Simmons sold them.

Has he completely retired, or does he still have his Jimmy Johns?  His former(?) website is not active anymore. (srmmidwest.com).  When I moved here  in 1987 he had the BKs and a Le Peep on 114th & Dodge.Brad wrote:Not too long after that.bbinks wrote:When did Simmonds sell the Taco Johns?

Agreed. Â It was easily one of the worst fast food buildings I've seen. Â *sigh* But I like Taco John's. Â Oh well.Brad wrote:The one in Lavista closed about a month ago. It was a complete dump.

Before the sale, they had completely ready to go plans for a Taco Johns at Southport right next to BK.Zilla wrote:Agreed.

There really needs to be some new TJs around. Its probably my favorite fast food joint and because there arent enough of them close by I don't get my fix. I'm going to have to do some Google to refresh my memory as to where they still ARE! :)
edit-
FWIW there are still apparently 10 in the Omaha area.

I have always been a fan of TJ since I lived in Sioux City. The Sioux City TJ used to have the option of adding a squirt of cherry to any drink for 10 cents. It was great. One of my favorite items is the apple grande which I can never find anymore. I know that the location in Missouri Valley has it. I asked the manager about it once and he said they tried to get rid of it, but there were many complaints so they brought it back. Does anyone know of other locations that have the apple grande in Omaha?
