Panda Express started as The Panda Inn back in the 1970s. The owner and his father came over from China and had a vision of sharing their cuisine with the American public. They created a concept that would allow tasty food from Chinese provinces to be served hot but at a quick pace. This, they thought, would be the best way to attract customers. The first restaurants were opened in California and then moved throughout the west. By the 1990s the company had expanded to over 100 stores and evolved to include both free-standing and college campus locations. Today there are over 1,500 locations in all by 5 U.S. states, and the company has even gone international with a restaurant opening in Mexico.
