==History==
Portillo’s was founded in 1963 by Dick Portillo.〔 After returning from serving in the Marines, Dick gathered money from his savings and from an investment from his brother frank to open a hotdog stand. They bought a 12-foot trailer that had no restroom and running water. They named it “The Dog House”.〔 The Dog House operated on North Avenue in Villa Park. At the beginning stages, the stand was losing money and Portillo needed to find a solution. Portillo went to do some research one day on how other competitors were operating and snuck in to one of the back rooms of a competitor and wrote down where they were purchasing their product.〔 He continued the process of learning by visiting different competitors. By 1967, The Dog House was in good standing, was upgraded to a larger trailer, and was renamed “Portillo’s”. In 1970, Dick Portillo partnered with Harold Reskin and opened up his second location in a shopping mall that Reskin owned.〔 Between 1972 and 1989, In 1987 Dick opened up a second restaurant under the name “Barney’s” that specialized in BBQ meals. In 1983 Portillo’s opened up its first drive thru in Downers Grove, IL and becomes known for its quick nontraditional dive thru service.〔 In the 90’s Portillo’s was profiting more than $50 million with 25 stores around the Chicago area.〔 In 1993, Dick experimented with a few ideas by combining his concept stores Barney’s and Barnelli’s with a Portillo’s restaurant. This concept was created to offer a wide variety of choices of selection for customers and had a positive response from Chicago area customers.〔 In 1995 Portillo expanded Key Wester Fish & Pasta House in Naples, Florida.〔 In 1996, Portillo brought the Key Wester Fish & Pasta to Naperville. In 2000, Portillo opened up another concept restaurant called Luigi’s House.〔 The most recent addition to the Portillo’s chain was made in 2010 with Honey-Jam Café.
