The popular American-Chinese fast food restaurant “Panda Express” is set to open in Chillicothe next year.

The restaurant is known for their Asian cuisine with a fast-food twist, making some of America’s favorite Chinese food on-the-go.

The company bought land on the corner of Bridge Street and Seney Road, across from Olive Garden. The restaurant will be a 2,300 square feet free standing drive-thru building with 66 inside seats, according to the company.

“….the new Panda Express location in Chillicothe is set to open early 2021, though that date is subject to change,” said company spokeswoman Aileen Donovan.

The company is already accepting applications for management.

“….We typically aim to have one general manager, one assistant manager and 10 associates. Those interested in applying can visit pandacareers.com.”
