Saginaw, MI -- Taco Bell's Michigan-based franchise group Mariane Inc. is honoring Saginaw's Fashion Square Mall Taco Bell and restaurant general manager Anastacia DeMitchell for achieving the top scores in Taco Bell's rating system.
DeMitchell and her team beat out nearly 7,000 other Taco Bell locations across the nation, according to a press release from Taco Bell.
Every year Taco Bell recognizes restaurant general managers and restaurants based on what Taco Bell calls the Golden Bell program.
Darla Bowen, marketing director for Mariane Inc., said the program uses areas like customer service, store cleanliness and other corporate requirements to measure their scores.
"To have their scores that high, I think it's pretty impressive. Especially in a town in Michigan that is a mid-size market", Bowen said.
Bowen said this is the second year in a row that DeMitchell was awarded for her accomplishments. She recently returned from an all-expense paid trip to Hawaii, a gift from her company.
According to a press release from Taco Bell, a ceremony for DeMitchell and her team will be held on Tuesday, May 2, at the Saginaw Fashion Square Taco Bell, 4749 Bay Rd, and each member will be awarded a PS4 console to congratulate them on their accomplishments.
"While we are ecstatic to learn that Anastacia received this prestigious accolade, we can't say that we are surprised. We couldn't be more thrilled to recognize this well-deserving member of our Taco Bell family," Rodney Walker, the owner of Mariane Inc., said in a press release.
Bowen said DeMitchell has been with Taco Bell for 20 years.
