The new Taco Bell in Owego, located at 1054 NY-17C on 5th Avenue, is scheduled to open on Oct. 22, 2025 at 7 a.m., and with a ribbon cutting hosted by Tioga’s Chamber of Commerce at 10 a.m. 

The construction on the former bank building has been underway since May 2025, and the location will be the first Taco Bell in Tioga County. During a May 15 groundbreaking held at the site, Jessica Woodburn, Director of Marketing for Hospitality Syracuse, owners of the franchise, stated that the company had been looking to develop and grow over the last five years and saw Owego as a good fit.

Also, at the time of the groundbreaking, the company anticipated that 50 new jobs would be created, with training held in nearby Ithaca, N.Y. You can learn more about employment opportunities at hrgfood.com.

The site in Owego sat vacant since the former Chemung Canal Bank branch closed that location in November 2020. Now, a new Taco Bell will open on Wednesday.
