In late 2022, Portillo’s was searching for a self-service refrigeration merchandiser that could be integrated into a grab-n-go concept they were designing for new and existing stores. Their search led them to Structural Concepts.

Culinary Equipment Group, the Chicagoland representatives for Structural Concepts, promptly delivered a case that Portillo’s could test side-by-side against those of a couple competitors. The quality stood out immediately, in both appearance and performance. After putting the case through its paces, Structural Concepts was selected. Portillo’s facilities, purchasing, and marketing staff worked with Culinary Equipment Group to hammer out the specifications, including the case size and the laminate selection. Shortly after, the orders started rolling in and the merchandisers started shipping out.
