NANDO’s PERi-PERi, the South African-Portuguese restaurant known
worldwide for its spicy flame-grilled chicken, celebrates its grand
opening in OAK BROOK this SUNDAY, November 20. The restaurant, at 523
Oakbrook Center in Oakbrook Center Mall, is the tenth NANDO’s
location to open in the Chicagoland area.Nando’s will pay it forward
by donating 100 percent of sales to support student programs at
Hinsdale Central High School. Opening-day sales will be donated to
Hinsdale's performing arts program. Nationwide, Nando's has donated
more than $200,000 to local non-profit organizations, all through
opening-day sales.
Last weekend, Nando’s opened its first Skokie location, in the
Westfield Old Orchard mall. Nando’s next Chicagoland restaurant is
set to open in mid-January 2017 in the Hyde Park neighborhood, at 1447
E. 53rd Street near the University of Chicago.
“As newcomers to the OAK BROOK area, we wanted to be good neighbors
and help raise funds for Hinsdale Central High School,” said Burton
Heiss, CEO of Nando’s PERi-PERi USA
[https://www.nandosperiperi.com/]. “We can’t wait to fire up our
grills at our tenth Chicagoland location.”
Nando’s, which operates restaurants in 23 nations from Australia to
Zimbabwe, first moved to the United States in 2008. It set up shop in
Washington, DC, and, since then, has opened three dozen restaurants in
and around Chicago and the nation’s capital.
Nando’s has built an intensely loyal following, from London to the
Loop, by providing fresh food in a relaxed atmosphere with friendly
service. Nando’s is known worldwide for its succulent PERi-PERi
chicken, marinated for 24 hours, flame-grilled to perfection, and
basted to the customer’s preferred flavor and spice. Every Nando’s
is painstakingly designed and completely unique, with earthy textures
and bright colors that reflect its sunny African-Portuguese heritage.
With thousands of pieces of original works of art that are a constant
reminder of where the restaurant came from, Nando’s has become the
largest collector of South African contemporary art in the world.
