2. In 1963, former Marine Dick Portillo opened a hot dog stand in a 12-foot trailer with $1,000 in savings and a small investment from his brother, about $11,000 in today's dollars. By 2014, he'd grown Portillo's to 38 locations in 4 states, generating $300 million in annual revenue and carrying no debt. That year, Portillo sold his business to Berkshire Partners for nearly $1 billion. In 2017, 3 friends pooled $900 and started frying Nashville-style hot chicken at a pop-up located in an East Hollywood parking lot. 8 years later, Dave's Hot Chicken, with 390 locations worldwide, was acquired by a private equity firm for $1 billion.
