Jojo (also known as Jojo Food Truck and Jojo PDX) is a restaurant in Portland, Oregon.
Description
Jojo operates from a food cart in southeast Portland's Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood. The business specializes in fried chicken sandwiches.
History
Justin Hintze, a former real estate agent, opened Jojo in Sellwood in October 2018. The food cart relocated to a pod on Southwest Powell in 2019. Jojo became known for its social media posts in 2019. In late 2019, Jojo and Vietnamese cart Matta collaborated to launch Chơi Luôn, a restaurant within the cocktail bar Lulu.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jojo offered free meals to children, restaurant workers, and hospital workers. In April, when Jojo reopened after a temporary closure, the business offered free sandwiches to all who asked. In 2021, Hintze confirmed plans to open a sibling brick and mortar restaurant in northwest Portland's Pearl District. The restaurant is expected to open on September 15, 2022.
