The Indianapolis Taco Bell Cantina is being franchised by California-based Flynn Restaurant Group, the largest restaurant franchisee in the U.S., according to its website.
The space in the Lieber Building was previously occupied by barbecue restaurant Sugarfire Smokehouse, which closed in 2020, IBJ reported.
