One of the things you learn when you write about the news is you have absolutely no idea what will get traction and what won’t.
You think, as an ink-stained wretch, that deeply reported, investigative piece you spent weeks working on will resonate deeply with the readership and sometimes it does but more often than not, the quick throwaway on something new coming to town will go viral, then stay that way.
A Panda Express location in Irving, Texas.
The most recent example of the latter was a quick story last year about Panda Express planning to open a franchise in North Little Rock on Maumelle Boulevard.
It took, maybe, 20 minutes to throw together and it is the second most popular story on the site, ever.
Wild and when it will open remains a fairly consistent question and, luckily, Rachel Johnson had some answers.
Johnson is an account director for Approach Marketing, a firm that handles public relations for the corporate parent of Panda Express.
“I should have more to share in the next month,” Johnson wrote in an email and said while an official opening date hasn’t been set, the company is hoping for “the first half of the year.”
The location will employ 50 and be located at 12311 Maumelle Boulevard.
The opening, while murky, will sooner than later as job openings, including store manager, are posted here. You can also apply if so inclined.
This will be the first Panda Express in Pulaski County with other central Arkansas locations being in Benton, Conway and Hot Springs.
More might be coming as there, “are three locations in Arkansas scheduled to open by end of the year. However, this is always subject to change.”
Panda Express is American Chinese, so if you’re looking for a Cantonese spicy noodle, it won’t be the place for you but the Orange Chicken is pretty good and the super greens side is super tasty.
Also, if you’re who happens to be counting your macros, or very concerned about how many grams of protein you’re eating. Panda Express is for you with their balanced protein plates. One has 76 grams! No stir-in creatine for your iced tea though. [FREE IDEA!]
“The Panda Express team is excited to become a bigger part of the community and look forward to welcoming all guests into their doors to try their American Chinese favorites and discover their own,” Johnson helpfully added.
