CHICAGO, July 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- As one of the nation's leading hot dog
authorities, Portillo's – the fast-casual restaurant
brand known for its menu of Chicago-style favorites – will
celebrate National Hot Dog Week with a special free delivery offer,
the release of limited-edition dog toys inspired by its iconic menu
items and the first-ever Find Pokey's BFF! Contest. Whether
you are a fan of Portillo's legendary Chicago-style hot dog or
plant-based Garden Dog, or just a fan of your (hot) dog, there has
never been a better time to enjoy the iconic American classic with
your pet by your side.
"With more than 60 years of experience serving up Chicago-style
hot dogs, National Hot Dog Week is one of our team's favorite times
of year – and nothing says summer like a delicious Hot Dog," said
Nick Scarpino, Portillo's Chief
Marketing Officer. "We're excited to bring back our free delivery
offer in honor of this special week, and we wanted to kick things
up a notch this year. Our beloved mascot, Pokey, has long been the
face of our legendary Chicago brand, and she deserves a pack of
canine pals. We are so excited to meet our Guests' adorable pups
and find Pokey a pack to run with."
Hot dog and (hot) dog enthusiasts can enter Portillo's Find
Pokey's BFF! Contest from July 8-
19 by posting a photo to their social media channels (i.e.
Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and X) featuring their dog (or other
pet) along with a nod to Portillo's. Simply use the hashtag
#PokeysPal and tag @portilloshotdogs or mail in a physical photo to
Portillo's*. Ten finalists will then be chosen by Portillo's and
receive phone call, email or DM indicating they were chosen to
advance to a public voting phase that will determine a grand prize
winner. Public voting will then determine the grand prize winner,
who will receive a set of Portillo's new limited-edition dog toys
and other merchandise, as well as Portillo's for a year in the form
of an $800 Portillo's e-Gift
card.
