The Chicago-style fast-casual chain, which started in 1963 and has expanded to more than 60 locations across the country, is in front of Arrowhead Towne Center, at 17125 N. 79th Ave., Glendale.

Portillo’s is best known for its Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, char-grilled burgers and famous chocolate cake.

The Glendale location marks the fourth freestanding Portillo’s in the Phoenix area, joining locations in Tempe, Scottsdale and Avondale. The Glendale restaurant officially opens to the public at 10:30 a.m.

Portillo’s is now accepting applications in anticipation of the opening. On average, Portillo’s hires approximately 150 people for new restaurants. The restaurant is looking to fill a variety of hourly and shift leader positions.

The 7,800-square-foot restaurant will feature a diner theme that includes nostalgic décor and diner-style booths, inspired by the 1950s and 1960s. The restaurant offers seating for more than 190 guests, as well as an outdoor patio and double drive-thru lanes.
