Panda Express’s 2,600-square-foot building would be adjacent to the existing Chick-fil-A Restaurant and offer both dine-in and drive-through options. With over 2,300 restaurant locations in the United States and many locations in international markets, it is a world leader in the Asian dining experience. If the concept plan is approved, the project will continue through the Village’s site development process.

Mayor Bob Marcus is enthusiastic about the new restaurant in the Village.

“It’s not just about serving popular food options for our residents to enjoy. Panda Express also operates with core philanthropic values, like Panda Cares, making them an asset to our community,” said Marcus.
