Portillo’s Hot Dogs is setting its sights on Stafford at the corner of Nexus Ave & US-59 Frontage Road for its next expansion. Famous for its delicious menu offerings, Portillo’s has become a staple in the fast-casual dining scene. With a loyal following, the chain continues to grow, bringing a piece of Chicago to food enthusiasts across the nation.
Portillo’s Hot Dogs is a cherished fast-casual restaurant chain originating from Chicago, Illinois, celebrated for its signature Chicago-style hot dogs, mouthwatering Italian beef sandwiches, and decadent chocolate cake shakes. Founded in 1963 by Dick Portillo in a small trailer, the brand has flourished into a beloved institution with a vast presence across the United States. Known for its high-quality ingredients, distinctive menu, and nostalgic, themed restaurant decor, Portillo’s offers a unique dining experience that transports its patrons to the heart of Chicago, no matter where they are.
The new location, slated for the northeast corner of Nexus Ave & US-59 Frontage Road, Stafford, TX 77477, is expected to be a bustling hub for both locals and travelers alike. With an estimated cost of $4.5 million, the new construction will feature a 6,160 square foot quick-service restaurant (QSR) building complete with a drive-thru. The structure will boast a concrete masonry unit (CMU) shell and a Nichiha facade, aligning with Portillo’s distinct and inviting aesthetic.
This expansion is not just about spreading the Portillo’s brand; it’s a testament to the chain’s commitment to quality and community. Each new location is carefully chosen to ensure it meets the needs of its customers, providing a warm and welcoming environment for families, friends, and food lovers. The Stafford outlet is expected to create numerous jobs and generate local excitement, further enriching the community’s culinary landscape.
The project, set to commence in June 2024 and complete by November 2024, aims to offer a fast, efficient, and enjoyable dining experience.
