About Panda Restaurant Group, Inc.
Serving fine Mandarin and Szechuan cuisine in an upscale dining atmosphere, Panda Restaurant Group's first restaurant concept, Panda Inn, quickly won a loyal following with such original dishes as Tea Smoked Duck, Honey Walnut Shrimp and Lotus Leaf Rice. That provided the springboard and the inspiration for the launch of Panda Express in 1983, fulfilling Andrew Cherng's vision of a unique restaurant that combined the gourmet-style cuisine of Panda Inn with a quick-service format.
With system wide annual sales of nearly $1 billion and more than 1000 restaurant locations, the privately-held company is based in Rosemead, Calif., and dramatically outperforms its competitors. In the industry's benchmark measurement of growth, same-store sales have increased every year since 1996.
Today, under the leadership of Andrew Cherng and his wife Peggy, Panda Restaurant Group employs a team of more than 15,000 people and oversees its successful concepts throughout 40 states, Puerto Rico and Japan. Both Andrew and Peggy remain actively involved with their company on a daily basis as Founder/Chairman and Chief Executive Officer/Co-Chairman, respectively.
As the industry leader in Chinese foodservice, Panda Restaurant Group has become deeply committed to the communities it serves. In 1999, the company established Panda Cares, a company-wide community involvement initiative that provides food and volunteer services to local public schools and children's help organizations and donates a portion of grand opening proceeds to local non-profits at each new restaurant opening.
