THE south area of the metro is attracting some good fortune. Panda Express — the world’s largest American Chinese dining concept — is set to open another store in the south on July 1, with its Shell SLT branch, the first location in Muntinlupa and along the South Luzon expressway.

The new branch will be the 10th Panda Express branch in Metro Manila since it sets foot in the country in 2019.

“These back-to-back store openings in the south are all attributable to the heartwarming support that Panda Express has received from Filipino customers since 2019. Guests from Muntinlupa and nearby areas, as well as city travelers heading south, can now stop over at our new location to satisfy their craving for savory, wok-cooked American Chinese dishes,” said Ned Bandojo, business development head of Jollibee Group Foreign Franchised Brands.

The Panda Express menu includes a variety of entrées with regional Chinese influences — from its best-selling The Original Orange Chicken, a wok-tossed crispy chicken coated in a sweet, tangy sauce to other must-try entrees like Broccoli Beef, Savory Shrimp and Black Pepper Steak.

Guests can grab their Panda Express favorites through dine-in, takeout and Park, Order and go channels. To get more information about Panda Express, visit www. facebook.com/PandaExpressPH/ (Facebook) and @PandaExpressPH (Instagram).
