A new Portillo's location is coming to Michigan Avenue. Here's what we know.

Portillo’s is expanding its Chicago footprint once again—this time, to Michigan Avenue. 

The iconic hot dog chain officially announced it will be opening a major new flagship location at 304 N. Michigan Ave., though the opening date has not yet been announced. Just steps from the Riverwalk, the Mag Mile and the Loop, it’s one of the first inline, walk-up locations and only the third in the downtown area.

"Chicago is where the Portillo’s story began, and opening in the heart of the city is not only an incredibly proud moment for our brand, but also a recognition of how important Chicagoans are, not only to our history, but to our future," says Brett Patterson, president and CEO. "Michigan Avenue is one of the most iconic destinations in Chicago. This restaurant celebrates our hometown and reinforces a simple truth: no matter how much we grow, Chicago will always be at the heart of who we are."

In recent years, Portillo’s has expanded beyond Chicagoland with new locations in states like Texas, Arizona, California and Georgia. What started as Dick Portillo’s humble stand in Villa Park has become a national favorite for Italian beef, hot dogs and chocolate cake. Luckily for us, the new Michigan Avenue restaurant will make it even easier to get our fix.
