The Fort Wayne restaurant joins the brand&#8217;s largest market outside of Chicagoland, with five other Portillo&#8217;s concepts in the Hoosier state (Avon, Indianapolis, Fishers, Merrillville and Mishawaka).<\/p>\n<p>The site for the latest Portillo&#8217;s concept will be near the Glenbrook Square Mall at the intersection of West Coliseum Road and Speedway Drive. The mall development is central to the town&#8217;s residential area and daytime activity. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Portillo&#8217;s is excited to expand to Northeast Indiana&#8217;s booming retail and economic hub,&#8221; said Michael Osanloo, CEO of Portillo&#8217;s. &#8220;Indiana has become a second home to our brand, and we look forward to joining the Fort Wayne community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Guests can expect to enjoy classic restaurant menu items like Chicago-style Hot Dogs, Famous Italian Beef, char-grilled burgers, fresh salads and Portillo&#8217;s Famous Chocolate Cake. The 7,800 square foot restaurant will include seating for more than 190 guests, a seasonal outdoor patio with seating for 48 guests, draft beer, a double drive-thru and adjacent parking lot. Once complete, the restaurant will feature a diner-themed interior, drawing d\u00c3\u00a9cor inspiration from the 1950&#8217;s and 1960&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Fans are invited to sign up for a chance to attend a sneak peek meal prior to opening at <a href=\"https:\/\/portillos.com\/fortwayne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">portillos.com\/fortwayne<\/a>.
