Students at the Pennsylvania State University are grieving the loss of their beloved local Taco Bell. It was much loved, as it was one of the few eateries open at two o'clock in the morning. Student Prajesh Patel, who organized the vigil and conducted the service while dressed in a giant taco costume, described in the Daily Collegian the sadness that he and his colleagues felt.
“We were all shooketh after hearing about the closing of this beautiful, beautiful State College establishment,” Patel (senior-computer science) said to the crowd. “Taco Bell was our home away from home, and added spice to our life."

Miller, who was a manager at the location, was the person who closed the doors for the final time.
“My reaction was honestly surprised, and it didn’t really affect me until I, as a manager, closed the doors for the last time,” Miller said. “I think [the vigil] was necessary, because I think it had a place in many people’s hearts, to see the store closing it felt as if somebody that was loved, died.”
