Panda Express Gourmet Foods

Panda Express is an American fast-food restaurant chain that specializes in American Chinese cuisine. Founded in 1983 by Andrew and Peggy Cherng in Glendale, California, the brand grew from its roots as a family-owned business into the largest Asian-segment restaurant chain in the United States.

While famously known for its physical restaurant locations, the brand also produces a line of bottled sauces, such as the famous Orange Chicken Sauce, for retail sale. These retail products are primarily manufactured and distributed within the United States. The brand remains privately held by the Cherng family through the Panda Restaurant Group, ensuring that the original vision and ownership remain consistent even as the brand expands globally.
