Open? For What? Would You Go In?

This is the uninviting sight I was confronted with and I actually went in anyway.  Would you?  And I was stunned to see a few other people inside.

If you were new to the area you'd have no idea this is a Taco Bell restaurant.  It's been open for years and when I pulled up I thought it was closed because there are no signs anywhere indicating it's a Taco Bell.  Nowhere.  It's got that standard Taco Bell look to it, but where are the signs?

Turns out this location on Maple at Sweet Home in Amherst is undergoing a renovation, an upgrade.  New windows, a new look and it meant removing the signs temporarily while they work on the outside walls.

The only people brave enough to go in no doubt know that it's a Taco Bell.  I pulled into the parking lot specifically to go there.  If I'd been driving by I would have kept on driving assuming it was closed.  I just thought it was a strange way to handle a renovation - just one sign on the door indicating they were indeed open.

By the way I went with the 3 taco and beverage combo and pretty much had the place to myself.  They say the renovation should be complete within a week, including new signs.
