Welcoming the new year with a new store, Panda Express®—the world’s largest American Chinese dining concept—is set to open its first Delivery and Take-out store in Quezon City on February 14, 2022.
Located in Don Antonio, Brgy. Holy Spirit, Commonwealth, Quezon City, the new Panda Express Delivery and Take-out store will focus solely on cooking and fulfilling online and take-out orders, providing more convenient access to guests across Metro Manila’s most populous city while maintaining the same food safety and quality standards that the restaurant is known for.
“We have seen the evolving needs of our customers during the pandemic, and strengthening our Delivery and Take-out channels is the first step in providing speedy dining solutions to serve the increasing demand for off-premise consumption,” said Allan Tan, Marketing Head of Jollibee Group Foreign Franchised Brands.
The Delivery and Take-out restaurant is optimized with new efficient equipment that will help Panda Express associates prepare freshly made, delicious American Chinese dishes more quickly and improve the brand’s delivery coverage, resulting in shorter delivery times and better customer experience. The delivery coverage includes select areas of Valenzuela, Marikina, Caloocan and Quezon City.
