Nearly three years after a late-night fire destroyed their former building, Thursday is day one of operations for the new Del Taco store on Northwest Stewart Parkway in Roseburg.

Wednesday the store was open around lunchtime and again in the early evening for VIP events, which also served as training sessions for the new staff.

The new building is just over 2,300 square feet with seats for 48 people in the dining room, along with a drive-through. It uses what the company calls its Fresh Flex design, which is described as a very modern look.

Cactus Enterprises Direction of Operations Erick Marsh said Del Taco has a long tradition of serving quality fresh food. Marsh said beans for example, are still made from scratch. Chicken and steak are cooked fresh in-house throughout the day. Cheese is grated from 40 pound blocks every morning. Pico de Gallo and guacamole are made fresh daily. Marsh claims their Double Del Cheeseburger is one of the best cooked to order cheeseburgers around.

Cactus Enterprises also operates 6 other Del Taco stores in Oregon: Salem, Albany, two in Medford, Klamath Falls and Bend. The new store has about 50 employees.
