MORENO VALLEY, CALIFORNIA
One of Portillo’s first location outside of Illinois was in Monroe Valley, CA. This location’s theme is 30’s prohibition. The interior is decorated with small lights as well as many signs from the 1930s. This location contains many fan favorites such as Chicago-style hot dogs, chocolate cake, and crinkle-cut fries. However, this location also has meals that are catered to the California diet. Some specialties include ribs, specialist salads, and beer. This location is located at 12840 Day Street Moreno Valley CA 92553.[1] This location has won many awards, such as "Best of Inland Empire 2020: Best Hot Dog" [2] for consecutive years.

MADISON, WISCONSIN
Portillo's announced that on March 4, 2019, the fast-casual restaurant chain would open its first location in Madison, Wisconsin. However, before the grand opening, a local elementary school -Hawthorne Elementary School- help raise $3,500, for the restaurant's opening. Each Portillo's restaurant has a specific theme to it. Most restaurants are decorated to make the customer feel that they are either in a 50's or 60's dinner. The Madison location is themed to have inspiration from both decades, as well as including outdoor space and a drive-through to make the optimal customer experience. Since Portillo's is known to have Chicago Style Hot-Dogs, the Madison restaurant decided to give it a twist with their Wisconsin roots in mind. At the Madison location, customers can enjoy the "Bagger Brat", a "Usinger’s Fresh Bratwurst made with stone-ground German mustard and sauerkraut." The restaurant is located at 4505 E Towne Blvd, Madison, WI 53704. [3]

After the successful launch of the first Madison, Wisconsin Portillo's, located at 4505 E Towne Blvd, Madison, WI 53704, the fast casual hot dog company is looking into expanding into a second store in Madison, Wisconsin. This location will be located at 522 S. Gammon Road, Madison, WI, 53704, which is near a popular West Towne Mall. [4] The restaurant will be able to seat 230 customers, with 178 inside and 52 outside. Currently, mobile orders are crucial with the COVID-19 pandemic being present, which is why city planners in cohesion with the Portillo's company are planning to have a three lane drive through to assist with this.
