Taco Bell is giving loyal customers the whole enchilada.
The fast food franchise has unveiled an “early retirement community” for Rewards Members that comes complete with crochet classes, pickleball and poolside cocktails.
The Cantinas, located in sunny San Diego, will host a horde of Taco Bell’s biggest fans for the two-day elder-inspired experience next weekend, Aug. 17- 18.
The Cantinas is a weekend-only promotional exercise for the food giant and won’t serve as a permanent perk for Rewards Members — but it speaks to the increasing popularity of activities beloved by senior citizens.
“More than just a weekend getaway, it’s a chance to embrace and fuel youth culture’s slow living, senior-at-heart lifestyle,” a press release from the company stated. “Wake up to an early morning tee time, grab your friends for aerobics, pass the time with crochet classes, arts and crafts and pickleball all before drifting off to sleep at 8 p.m. after an early bird dinner. “
Taco Bell Rewards Members clamored to get a coveted spot at The Cantinas, with the brand charging $150 for a “weekend membership” that includes overnight accommodation and dining.
Other fast food fanatics forked out $50 for a day pass, that gives access to activities.
Rewards Members over the age of 21 were eligible to enter, with all available tickets selling out in just three minutes.
Taco Bell fans fawned over the news, taking to a Reddit thread to reveal their excitement before tickets went on sale.
“I’ve been going to Taco Bell on average 9 times a week for about two years now. Very excited that I live an hour from this Cantinas event,” one wrote. “Hoping I get a spot.”
However, another was saddened that the location was too far from home.
“I was so f–king happy reading about this until I learned that it would just be one location and it wasn’t in my area,” they stated. “Now I’m sad.”
