Panda Express Franchise
Panda express markets delicious Asian cuisine and is a suitable franchise option for those interested in engaging in a business that showcases Asian culinary delicacies.
The Panda Express offers American Asian Cuisine which is both quick and delicious.
It is considered as the largest Chain of Chinese fast food restaurants in the country, having several stand alone and drive through outlets nationwide. The company was first founded in 1973 and was known as the Panda Inn fine dining restaurant in Pasadena California. As news of the delicious food and excellent service grew far and wide the company was able to develop into a fast food type of restaurant and was renamed the Panda Express in 1983.
The chain offers a wide variety of Asian and particularly Chinese cuisine with just a touch of American flavor for variety. Popular menu dishes include the Kung Pao chicken, Orange Chicken, Mandarin Chicken and the Beijing Beef. The food chain currently has 1,321 locations across the country and has a growing international market especially in Puerto Rico. The company garners around $1 billion in income rating and in staff currently has around 13,000 employees.
Considering that Asian food is a fast growing segment of the restaurant industry, the Panda Express is looking for new and innovative ways to bring this gourmet Chinese food restaurant to more and more clients throughout the country.

I have a brief time to do some research for a business opportunity.
I honestly believe that Panda Express in this location has a big potential.
Our Family owns a 125.8 square meters in front of Laoag City Public Market, along Don Villanueva Street (this is prime business location).
What is the price for a Panda Express Franchise in the Philippines?
Or Would you be interested in leasing the place?
Possible Location: Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, Philippines
