NORMAL, Ill. -- Chicago-style eatery Portillo's has announced the location of its first downstate store.

Normal Town Manager Mark Peterson said Portillo's will open at the current Motel 6 location at 202 Landmark Drive, kitty-corner to Wal-Mart.

The Normal Town Council will discuss the Portillo's proposal at their meeting next Monday.

It is unclear if the current building will be demolished, or what date Portillo's anticipates the new restaurant will open. They first announced their intention to come to Normal in April.
