Chiranjeev Kohli, professor of marketing and former consultant for Taco Bell, examines the Irvine-based chain’s decision to launch its pop-up hotel, The Bell, in Palm Springs this August. The pop-up made headlines earlier in the summer when it sold out in two minutes.
While a “tacotel” might seem far-fetched, Kohli says, The Bell is in keeping with the company’s history of creative publicity.
