The Bastrop Panda Express at 728 State Hwy 71 West will soon undergo renovations, according to recent public records.
The records states that renovations will at least consist of a “replaced wainscot, wall paint, artwork, furniture, drink station cabinet (only), replaced existing light fixtures” in its 1279 square ft space, costing an estimated $50,000.
A brand that requires little introduction, Panda Express has built its reputation from its various classic offerings such as orange chicken, kung pao chicken, and broccoli beef, among many others. The brand is not just a favorite fast casual brand for take-away, but for catering large events as well.
Perhaps what is most notable about the brand, given its massive footprint, is that it remains family-owned by its original founders Andrew and Peggy Cherng, who started the company in 1983 in Glendale, California. As of 2023, the brand boasts over 2,230 stores worldwide.
