#6. New York’s First Panda Express Opened in 2015
Although there are close to 2,000 Panda Express locations throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam, Canada, Mexico, Dubai, Saudi Arabia and Korea, the first openings in Manhattan and the Bronx occurred in November 2015. Said Panda Express co-chair Andrew Cherng:

“Having spent many years working in New York’s Chinatown restaurants early in my career, I have the utmost respect for the history and connection New Yorkers have with Chinese cuisine. It is an honor to open in New York City and to have the opportunity to serve and share our family’s version of American Chinese food and hospitality. New York City deeply influenced my passion for food and service and it feels good to be back.”

Um, of course it’s an honor — there are, like, millions of people there with money to burn.
