Taco Bell sees interest on low prices

The chain is one of Yum Brand's two most profitable divisions. It saw a growth in sales in the third quarter as more people look to save money on food.

Yum Brands CEO David Gibbs said Taco Bell saw a 2-3% growth rate in the number of orders received "across all income levels," per a transcript of a Nov. 1 investors call.

This success is in part due to people looking for less expensive options, said Gibbs.
