SAN DIEGO — Want to retire early?
Later this summer, Taco Bell is opening an early retirement community pop-up in San Diego where "everyone can live like a retiree." The chain says the pop-up, which it's calling "The Cantinas," is an effort to "redefine leisure lifestyle" with a "weekend getaway like no other."
The Cantinas will open Aug. 17-18 for Taco Bell Rewards Members 21 and over. Activities include early morning golf, afternoon aerobics and pickleball.
"The Cantinas invites guests to indulge in a Taco Bell-fueled, sun-soaked experience filled with senior-inspired recreation and cross-generational activities," a Taco Bell statement described. "From early morning tee times to afternoon aerobics and pickleball matches, attendees will feel rejuvenated and immersed in a community oasis that celebrates the diverse art of living más."
“There’s a common misconception that retirement unlocks the life you’ve been waiting for. And while that may be true for some, we don’t think you should have to wait until 55 to live the life you’re craving," said Taylor Montgomery, U.S. Chief Marketing Officer of Taco Bell. "The Cantinas early retirement community, just like our brand, represents a place where all generations can come together, regardless of age, to Live their Más however they want.”
Day passes and weekend memberships to The Cantinas are available to Taco Bell Rewards members starting 9 a.m. PST July 16. First come first serve, tickets are $50 a day or $150 for the weekend, which includes an overnight stay for the ticket-holder and one guest.
