Panda Express, an international restaurant chain that describes itself as a “fast, casual Chinese restaurant” recently filed for a building permit in Wichita Falls. The plan is to open the new restaurant near Lawrence Road and Maplewood. Currently, Wichita Falls residents have to travel to Lawton or Decatur to dine at Panda Express.
Panda Express’ first restaurant opened in Glendale, California in 1983 and now operates 1800 locations around the world. In 2015, Panda Express provided 10 million meals to Americans in need.
