Exciting News for Indian Land and Rock Hill: Panda Express is Coming!
Indian Land, get ready to welcome a tasty addition to the neighborhood! The beloved fast-food chain, Panda Express, is all set to open a brand-new restaurant right at 8474 Charlotte Hwy in Indian Land. This hot spot is a part of a larger development known as The Arches, which has been in the works for about two years now. Situated at the intersection where U.S. 521 meets Worldreach Drive, this location is conveniently close to Dobys Bridge Road, making it accessible for many local residents.
A Growing Hub of Activity
The Arches is not just about Panda Express—it promises to bring a variety of exciting commercial spaces to Indian Land, further enhancing the area’s offerings. This thriving region has already seen announcements for popular stores like Target and Costco, along with a delightful French bakery. With all this growth, it’s clear that Indian Land is becoming a lively hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment!
More Panda Love in Rock Hill
But that’s not all! If you live in Rock Hill, you’ll be pleased to hear that another Panda Express is in the works there, too. Job ads are popping up for various positions at a soon-to-open restaurant located at 2368 Cherry Road, near the bustling Golden Corral at the Cherry and Anderson Road intersection. They are currently looking to fill “pre-open” roles, including managers, kitchen staff, and service positions. This means that if you or someone you know is looking for a job, this could be a fantastic opportunity!
Menu Highlights
For those who aren’t familiar, Panda Express specializes in a wide range of “Chinese inspired, American made” dishes that are sure to satisfy your cravings. Notable menu items include fan favorites like orange chicken, black pepper sirloin steak, and Mongolian pork, all served fresh over rice, mixed vegetables, or chow mein. It’s a sweet deal for anyone looking for quick, delicious meals!
Growing Presence in South Carolina
Currently, there are 17 Panda Express locations throughout South Carolina. However, if you’re in the Rock Hill region, your only option has been the one situated inside Carowinds, which lies on the Fort Mill side of the popular theme park. That’s set to change now, as both the Indian Land and Rock Hill locations will provide more convenient dining options for local residents. For those outside the area, the closest existing locations to Rock Hill and York County are in Columbia or Spartanburg, making this expansion even more anticipated.
Panda Express’s National Impact
In case you didn’t know, Panda Express has been enjoying great success not just in our backyard but across the entire country, boasting more than 2,400 restaurants nationwide. In North Carolina alone, there are 29 locations with three located in Charlotte, along with others in Concord and Kannapolis. It’s a brand that’s expanding its footprint while delivering delightful flavors to food lovers everywhere!
