PHOENIX — Chinese restaurant chain Panda Express will open its newest Phoenix location on Wednesday.
A community celebration will take place at 4322 W. Thomas Road starting at 8:30 a.m.
The first 88 adult guests in line will receive a free T-shirt, while guests under 18 will get Panda headbands.
The California-based fast food restaurant chain will host an official ribbon-cutting, according to Jesus Toloza, Panda Express’ area coach of operations.
