Portillo's- the fast-casual restaurant concept known for its menu of unrivaled Chicago-style street food, will officially open the doors of its first restaurant in the Middleton Town Center area of The Villages and will celebrate with a grand opening on Tuesday, August 12 at 10:00 a.m., following a ribbon cutting ceremony at 9:30 a.m.

The ribbon cutting ceremony will include Michael Portillo, Vice President of Restaurant. During the ceremony, Portillo’s will also present charity partner, Sumter Schools Enhancement Program, with a check in support of this great local organization.

The new restaurant in The Villages will be located in the Middleton Town Center of the lively community. Unlike traditional Portillo’s restaurants, it will feature our new, smaller dine-in only format. It will have indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a retail Grab & Go area and Portillo’s Pick Up shelves, all in approximately 4,3000 square feet. One difference of this smaller footprint – no drive-thru.

Once we open, we hope you'll cake shake in to enjoy our signature menu items like Chicago-Style Hot Dogs, Famous Italian Beef Sandwiches, Char-Grilled Burgers and Portillo's Famous Chocolate Cake.
