Portillo's, a Chicago-based restaurant specializing in gourmet hot dogs, celebrated its grand opening in Grapevine with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Dec. 5.

The details

Portillo’s officially opened Dec. 2 and offers a variety of American fare, including Italian beef sandwiches, charbroiled burgers, salads, sides and desserts.

The Grapevine Chamber of Commerce was on hand during the ceremony, and guests were invited inside after the ribbon-cutting to order the first meals of the day.

During the event, Portillo’s officials presented the Grapevine-Colleyville ISD Education Foundation with a $5,000 check.


What else?

Mike Roman, Portillo’s vice president of field operations, said that the Grapevine Portillo’s is the seventh location in Dallas-Fort Worth and that the company is looking to expand to 24 locations in the Metroplex within the next two years.

“I believe so much in the community that I moved my family here two months ago,” Roman said. “That is how dedicated Portillo’s is to this community.”
