May 2015 dick portillo reflects on sale of eponymous restaurant chain.

Chicago, Illinois, May 22, 2015  — Visit a Portillo's restaurant at lunchtime and you'll see a steady stream of customers ordering Italian Beef sandwiches, Chicago-style hot dogs, french fries and chocolate cake shakes. Recent patrons might have caught a glimpse of Dick Portillo placing his own less decadent order: a single hard boiled egg. There was a reason for his restraint. The founder of the eponymous chain had a big dinner celebration later that night and he didn't want to be too full. 

That discipline and methodical planning shows up in other facets of Portillo's life, including how he picked a private equity firm to take over his self-made empire. As his business hit 51 years in April 2014, he said he was proud of what he had accomplished. But to take Portillo's to the next level, he knew he needed outside financing. "I was very leery of who I talked to," said Portillo, 75. "I wanted to see who would baby this more, and keep the culture."

A self-proclaimed "systems junkie," Portillo put the chain's 38 locations up for sale last year. He quickly had two dozen suitors trying to get their hands on the popular chain. Berkshire Partners was the winning bidder even though, Portillo said, its offer was lower than some others. He said he dismissed a higher offer because it included plans to quickly take Portillo's public; he worried the firm would make hasty changes to try and grow too quickly. 

One of the things he liked about Berkshire was that it wasn't a restaurant operator looking to replace Portillo's tried-and-true methods with its own restaurant operating systems. A Berkshire official echoed those ideals."We don't have any desire to change the formula at all," said Mike Miles, who is now executive chairman of the Portillo's chain. "The last thing you'd want to do is mess with that formula and mess with that business." Miles said Portillo now is helping him interview prospective CEOs for the chain.

Portillo said his restaurant's large menu and various processes, which include preparing nearly everything but the french fries at massive commissaries, differs from chains such as Chipotle Mexican Grill, which has a more limited menu and list of ingredients. "It is complex, it's very complex. It's also extremely successful."

The history buff — he has retraced the sailing path of Christopher Columbus, among other adventures — compares the success of Portillo's business model to building a moat outside a medieval castle to block enemies. "My moat is the complexity of the business and it helps keep the competition away," Portillo said. 

Portillo's revenue per store is unheard of in fast-food or fast-casual restaurants. An average McDonald's in the United States, for example, brings in nearly $2.5 million in annual revenue. The average newer Portillo's brings in $7 to $8 million. A higher-volume location in Downers Grove sells around $2 million of salads a year, one of many statistics Portillo rattles off. Portillo sees his restaurants as more of a special destination than other fast casual chains. The wide variety means families linger, even with no kids' menus or toys. The company has shipped its food to every state for in-home celebrations.

Neither Portillo nor Miles would discuss the financial terms of last summer's acquisition nor the chain's profitability. But Miles, an advisory director at Berkshire Partners with years of restaurant and retail expertise, was quick to say that Portillo's "single unit economics are better than anything I've ever seen." Selling the chain has at times been difficult for Portillo, though he said he still believes it was the right decision at the right time. "I have some regrets occasionally, it's not all of the time. It was a big emotional thing for me," Portillo said of selling his business. His journey started 52 years ago, when he scraped together $1,100 to set up a hot dog stand in a 6- by 12-foot trailer with no running water. 

Through his new company R&S Growth Management, Portillo oversees real estate investments. Those investments include the land under most of Portillo's restaurants — he leases the space back to Berkshire Partners — along with other ventures such as shopping centers and apartments. Portillo said he aims to buy the land for future Portillo's locations where the space is for sale and would then lease the space to Berkshire Partners. He does not own the land for the upcoming Rockford and Homewood locations, the first new Portillo's set to open in nearly two years.

Portillo continues to have connections to his former staff and customers. On a recent weekday, he posed for photos with patrons at the Downers Grove location. His fans include Scott Winch, a landscaper who said he visits the restaurant daily and is partial to the jumbo char dog. "We miss ya boss, we miss ya," Winch, 47, told Portillo as they embraced. "You're the man." One worker brought Portillo a handful of flowers, while another quickly delivered his meal — that single egg — to his table. 

After coffee, a "good breakfast" such as oatmeal with sliced banana, and a berry, almond milk and protein smoothie, Portillo's typical lunch is fruit and fat-free cottage cheese. He tends to wake up between 4:30 and 5:30 a.m., work out each morning and eat healthy meals, albeit with some indulgence. After all, one of his investments is an 18 percent stake in the Oak Brook location of Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse, where he planned to dine later that same night. More often, however, dinner is lighter. He said he eats at Chipotle a lot, and is a fan of its black beans and brown rice.

Portillo, a former Marine Corps member and marathon runner, said he was also ready to slow down and "enjoy life" a little bit." There was no balance in my life. It was pretty much all work until about 10 years ago. And I've started going to more funerals than weddings," Portillo said as his sat in his former Oak Brook office. "I would like to spend more time with my grandchildren and children, more time on my boat, and at the same time see the name all over the country, if possible. That could not happen if I would have remained in the position I was in."

Portillo has a new office in Oakbrook Terrace with a view of the Chicago skyline, roughly 2-1/2 miles from Portillo's headquarters. The new office serves as meeting place for Portillo, his chief administrative officer and the managing director of R&S. It's also a place to showcase everything from Han Dynasty swords to guns and machetes used by U.S. Marines. Photos of Portillo's family, his restaurants and his adventures adorn tables and walls throughout the space. There are also a few quotations that highlight Portillo's thinking and business strategy. Two sayings get prominent placement on both his new desk and in Oak Brook, where his former office has been transformed into a meeting area. The top silver plaque reads D.W.Y.S.Y.G.T.D. – short for "Do what you say you're going to do." Below it, another plaque reads, "When You Have Somebody By The Balls Don't Let Go To Get A Better Grip." 

In a hallway outside his Oakbrook Terrace office sits a sculpture titled Self Made Man. The piece, by Bobbie Carlyle, depicts a man carving himself out of stone. It was a Christmas gift from Portillo's wife, Sharon, whom he married in 1959. Portillo showcases his commitment to her outside each restaurant, with "Dick Loves Sharon" carved into the sidewalk cement, and hides the same message in the decor of new restaurants. 

He still spends time working on the Portillo's business as a consultant to Berkshire Partners, work that includes helping the firm interview potential CEOs for Portillo's. One of Portillo's sons, Michael, still works for the restaurant, training managers. Portillo plans to attend the grand opening events for the chain's Rockford location, which is set to open on June 9.

Portillo said the two toughest and most important things Berkshire needs to focus on are site selection — "so far I've been using my gut instincts" — and training. He recalls having to pull aside managers who were not treating workers properly, whether that was overhearing swearing in the kitchen or stopping by a drive-thru lane where an order taker outside on a sub-zero night was not relieved of the frigid duty quickly enough. Portillo said he made the manager gear up and stand outside for the same long 45 minutes.

Berkshire Partners is getting ready to open three locations in 2015, with plans for five in 2016. It's paying close attention to places with Chicago transplants, much as Portillo himself did by opening units in Arizona, for example. So fans on the west coast of Florida, along with those in parts of Wisconsin and Texas, will "probably see" Portillo's restaurants in the next five years, Miles said. "We're very conscious about not trying to go too quickly," said Miles, who said that for now there are no plans to franchise any locations or to take the company public.

Meanwhile, Portillo spends more of his days taking adventurous vacations, such as a one-month tour of Alaska and a trip through the Panama Canal, both on the 112-foot Westport yacht he got in May. "I'm looking for a bigger one," he says, laughing. Like his prior boats, the latest white yacht carries the name Top Dog. The license plate of his black SUV, meanwhile, reads DPTD, for Dick Portillo Top Dog. 

Portillo credited his passion for much of his success. "Sometimes it just gave me more energy to go further, to push." He has photos of the Francis Cabrini housing project on Mohawk Street where he spent part of his childhood on the wall of the new office, just a few feet from photos of one of his homes, a mansion in Oak Brook. "We want to keep Dick as involved as possible," said Miles, who said he meets with Portillo weekly when the septuagenarian is in town. "I don't think his passion for the business has waned at all."

The boat was everything we needed for a great family experience. We had a blast shelling and had the unexpected opportunity to see massive loggerheads coasting along the gulf and playful dolphins performing acrobatic feats. Top notch experience! Nick was knowledgeable, prompt, and pleasant. Would not hesitant to book again!

21' Godfrey Tritoon for rent in SW Florida! Dockside Delivery Available

One of the best rental experiences we’ve had. Nick was so easy to work with - very kind, prompt, reasonable, communicative. No issues, no surprises. Boat was lovely, and we had a fantastic day. We will definitely be renting from him again!

Perfect day on the water at Bonita Beach dog park and best way to cerebrate a birthday… Lonnie was a great communicator and I would definitely recommend!!

Excellent responsiveness and very easy to work with. Boat was amazing for what we wanted to do, which was some fishing and some hanging out in the beach. The boat was the perfect size for both and had enough power to get us to where we wanted to go in good time. The fact that it came with a cooler was a great bonus. Will definitely rent it again next time we're in town

Jeremy was a great Captain, responded in a timely manner and very accommodating! We had a fun day with friends and would definitely use him again!

We had an amazing day on the water with Bryant as our captain. He was a fabulous DJ, super friendly and knowledgeable. The boat comfortably fit 9 of us. It was Everything we were looking for in our boating experience. We can't wait to come back again!

Where is Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park in Florida? 5 things to know about this Dr. Beach favorite

Two Florida beaches just made Dr. Beach’s list of top 10 best public beaches in the U.S. and one is in Naples.

Both Caladesi Island State Park near Tampa and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park in Naples took top 10 spots on the highly-anticipated annual list for beachgoers.

Here’s where Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park ranked on Dr. Beach’s top 10 list and five things to know about the park.

What is the best beach in Florida, according to Dr. Beach?

Dr. Beach, whose real name is Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman, is a professor in the Department of Earth & Environment at Florida International University and just released his 34th annual rankings list of the best public beaches in America on Thursday, May 23. 

Tampa Bay’s Caladesi Island State Park is the highest-ranking Florida beach of the two on Dr. Beach's list, taking fourth place nationally. Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park in Naples was the second and last Florida beach to make this top 10 list, taking eighth place.

"This barrier island beach boasts of beautiful white sand beaches and crystal-clear Gulf waters.  Activities include swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, shelling, and fishing.  Wildlife in the park includes bald eagles, ospreys, and manatees," Dr. Beach said in his rankings list.

Here are Dr. Beach's top 10 beaches in the U.S. for 2024:

• Duke Kahanamoku Beach Oahu, Hawaii
• Coopers Beach Southampton, New York
• Wailea Beach, Maui, Hawaii
• Caladesi Island State Park Dunedin/Clearwater, Florida
• Beachwalker Park, Kiawah Island, South Carolina
• Main Beach, East Hampton, New York
• Poipu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii
• Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, Naples, Florida
• Coast Guard Beach Cape Cod, Massachusetts
• Coronado Beach, San Diego, California

What is there to do at Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park?

If sunbathing or swimming isn’t for you, there are plenty of other activities to get into at Delnor-Wiggins Pass.

“Visitors can sunbathe, paddleboard, kayak, hike, bird-watch, fish and search for seashells. There are specific areas designated for anglers to drop their lines in the northern areas of the park for trophy catches,” the Florida State Parks website says .

“Boaters will find the launch area into Turkey Bay easily accessible for most vessels and can experience the delicate natural estuaries of the Cocohatchee River, leading out to the Gulf of Mexico.”

The park is also ADA-accessible, with first-come, first-served beach wheelchairs available for visitors to use.

Is there a fee to enter Florida’s Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park?

Yes, there usually is a fee to enter. Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park is open from 8 a.m. to sunset, 365 days a year and it costs $6 per car (eight people) to enter.

It only costs $4 for a single-occupant vehicle and $2 for pedestrians, bicyclists, extra passengers (more than eight) and anyone in a vehicle with a holder of an annual individual entrance pass.

You don't have to pay to enter on Memorial Day weekend, though.  Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that all Florida state parks are free to enter for the holiday weekend.

Is Wiggins Pass dog friendly?

No pets are allowed on the beach, but they are allowed to enter the park. But service animals are allowed in all areas of the park.

“Pets are allowed in the park but not on the beaches. They must be well-behaved and kept on a 6-foot, hand-held leash at all times,” the Florida State Parks website says .

“Pets must not be left unattended or taken into restroom facilities or concession areas. You must pick up after your pet (don't forget your baggies). These rules help preserve important wildlife habitat.”

Is there a boat ramp at Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park?

Yes, there is a boat ramp at the park. It only costs $5 plus tax (in addition to the entrance fee) to use.

Can you fish at Wiggins Pass?

You can’t swim at the northern section of the beach, along Wiggins Pass, but you can fish there.

“At the northern section of the beach along Wiggins Pass where swimming is not allowed, fishing is a popular activity,” the park’s website says . 

“Boaters can launch their vessels into Water Turkey Bay from the boat ramp and travel to the Gulf or up the Cocohatchee River for both saltwater and freshwater fishing.”
