Loudoun County continues to appear more and more on the radar of national chains looking for new locations. Today comes word that Panda Express<\/a>, a large Chinese fast-food chain, is planning its first location in the county \u2014 in a Leesburg restaurant hotspot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Many Leesburg residents have probably noticed the construction going on in the parking lot next to the Chick-Fil-A<\/strong> and in front of Kohl’s<\/strong> on Edwards Ferry Road.\u00a0According to Leesburg’s mayor, Kelly Burk<\/strong>, a two-unit building is going up there and the developer has said one of the units will be a Panda Express. It\u2019s unknown what restaurant or retailer will occupy the second unit. (Hat tip<\/strong> to Leesburg resident Peter Fedders<\/strong> for tipping us off to this news.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We call that area a hotspot because it has some of the hottest brands in the quick service restaurant category. Besides Chick-Fil-A, across the street at the Battlefield Shopping Center, there’s a number of restaurants including Five Guys<\/strong>, Which Wich<\/strong>, Starbucks<\/strong> and Chipotle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Panda Express was founded in 1983 and specializes in \u201cAmerican Chinese\u201d cuisine. It\u2019s menu<\/a> is full of Chinese restaurant staples such as Kung Pao Chicken, Broccoli Beef and Fried Rice.<\/p>\n

\"\"The California-based company has roughly 1,900 locations around the world. Here in Northern Virginia, the closest location is in Centerville. A glance at a map shows the current Panda Express locations in the area form a semi-circle right around Loudoun. But that will change when the Leesburg location opens.<\/p>\n
