Posted

Portillo’s, the popular Chicago-style hot dog chain, plans to open a location in Queen Creek later this year.

According to the company, Portillo’s will be located on the southeast corner of Ellsworth and East Walnut roads. The 7,800 square-foot eatery will be designed in a Southwest garage theme.

The restaurant will have seating for 180 guests inside, as well as an outdoor patio with room for about 50 more people. In addition, it will have a double lane drive-thru.

The Queen Creek location will be Portillo’s sixth in the Valley and seventh in the state. Portillo’s can also be found in Avondale, Glendale, Scottsdale, Tempe and Tucson.

Portillo’s newest location in the Valley is in Gilbert in San Tan Village, 2650 S. Market St. The restaurant is set to open on Friday, March 31.

Portillo’s specializes in Chicago-style hot dogs and Italian beef and pepper sandwiches. The chain was founded in 1963 by Dick Portillo as a small trailer in Villa Park, Illinois. There are now 70 Portillo’s in several states.
