Popular Chicago Chain Portillo’s Sets Its Sights on Vegas - Eater Vegas

"The massively popular Chicago-based restaurant, Portillo’s, looks to be making its way to Las Vegas. In a call with investors, Michael Osanloo, the company’s president, CEO, and director, announced an expansion to add more than 900 new restaurants across the country — including Las Vegas. The Midwest institution is famous for its Italian beef sandwiches, hotdogs, and chocolate shakes that have a whole slice of decadent chocolate cake mixed in. The chain currently has 70 restaurants. Company representatives have not yet revealed if the Vegas location — or locations — will be full-scale restaurants with a dining area or just operate as drive-thrus and pick-up locations." - Janna Karel
