NANDO'S PERI-PERI HATCHES IN OAK BROOK ON SUNDAY
Donates 100% of Sales to Hinsdale Central High School
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. "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.
