No, Panda Express hasn't opened yet

We heard from a reader who said that the Panda Express Chinese Kitchen had debuted on the SW corner of First Avenue and 14th Street. (Revisit the EVG Panda Express Archives here!)

On closer inspection (H/T Steven!), this outpost of the quick-serve chain based in California wasn't open just yet ... with a worker stating they would be ready for guests next week.

A look inside the establishment, the former AT&T store and the Vitamin Shoppe, shows just a few tables for indoor Panda Expressing. However, there are three tables (no chairs!) (randomly?) set up on the 14th Street side of the storefront.

So perhaps this outpost will have outdoor dining... stay tuned!

    There was a homeless man yesterday morning using the tables to hold up a structure he created, which he was sleeping under.

    They did a great job with the painting. Looks sharp.

    This is just WEIRD.
    It could be a success.
    It could be your typical shitshow.

    I am looking forward to some Panda chicken in orange sauce. I know it is not a healthy choice, but once in a while I really crave it!

    Local shops like Mee now face corp chain. Ugh. Give us back a VITAMIN STORE, and a GENUINE GROCERY STORE (no Tj's is not a real supremarket).
