Taco Bucket

# **About**

Taco Bucket is a Novelian-based fast food restaurant chain owned by Jerseth Entertainment. The company was founded in 1990 by retired film director Seth Brown and technician Jeremy Colt. The restaurants are known for their animatronics which move and performs on stages in the restaurants. The first restaurant was made in 1990 when Seth Brown bought a small store where he began selling tacos. The mascot which he had worked on with Jeremy, attached people to the restaurant. They then made a deal with businessman Tyson Clark to open two more restaurants in Goldencity and Feng. The restaurant chain has around 8300 restaurants as of 2023. They expanded to Europe, Oceania and South America in the 2000's and 2010's. They further expanded to Asia in 2024.

The restaurant mainly serves Mexican food like tacos, burritos, molotes, and tortillas. Inside the restaurants, a stage is usually presented with animatronic characters performing on stage. These characters all have business suits and their head are replaced with an item. "Ole" is the main character and mascot of Taco Bucket. He wears a grey business suit, has a lamp for his head, and also wears a sombrero. "Cambage" is the secondary mascot being mainly used to advertise healthy products. Cambage has a green suit and a retro camera for his head. In recent years, Taco Bucket became very popular for their healthy menu items. They added salads, smoothies, and other healthier options to their menus. This caused the number of customers to increase. Currently, Taco Buckets have a wide variety of different meals that can fit anyone's preference.

# **History**

Seth and Jeremy met in a small cafe. Seth had a bad mental state when they first met. Jeremy sat down at the same table as Seth and they ended up becoming friends by discussing their interest in entertaining people using their skills. They bought a small warehouse spot where they would make the first mascot and come up with the idea for Taco Bucket. They also founded Taco Bucket's parent company, Jerseth Entertainment.

The first full restaurant with animatronics was opened in 1993 in Goldencity when Seth bought a warehouse and remade it into how it looks today. The restaurant was a hit and more started opening all over Novelia. This was the first time the animatronics were used as before they had only been statues and or costumes. They also started marketing themselves less as a fast food chain and more as a normal restaurant.

During night shifts, multiple nightguards reported strange and sometimes downright aggressive behaviour from the animatronics at night. Some guards (Fred) experienced the animatronics even attempt at attacking him. After Fred quick, he threatened to release the information to news outlets for them to report on it although nothing came of it.
