Panda Express will be celebrating the grand opening of its newest location at 4801 W. 87th St. in Oak Lawn with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony with members of the Oak Lawn Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, February 15, beginning at 9 a.m.
The first lucky 88 guests to receive a free Panda
Express branded T-shirt.
The new location
features an updated store design for the restaurant chain, known as Panda Home.
The updated model incorporates design elements inspired by traditional Chinese
architecture and traditions with modern motifs that tells the unique story of Panda
Express. Panda recognizes consumer habits have changed over the last three
years and to meet the needs of guests’ evolved lifestyles, the store design
creates efficiencies for operators and diners to accommodate the increased
demand for online ordering and drive-thru channels.
“The opening of the new Panda Express location is an
additional opportunity to give Oak Lawn residents access to enjoy their
favorite American Chinese dishes,” the company said in a release. “We encourage
everyone to stop by the restaurant to experience the new store design and taste
Panda Express favorites, which are all freshly made with quality ingredients.”
The new Panda Express location
offers Panda’s iconic dishes, including the world-famous The Original Orange
Chicken, award-winning Honey Walnut Shrimp and guest-favorite Broccoli Beef
entrée.
“Our entire Panda team is grateful
to serve the Oak Lawn community by providing new jobs and supporting local
organizations through fundraising opportunities,” said Nancy Diaz, Panda
Express Area Coach of Operations. “We hope to be a lasting part of the community
and welcome all guests into our doors to try our American Chinese favorites and
discover their own.”
