Panda Express is coming to Jonesboro!


Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – July 16, 2024 – Panda Express is coming to Jonesboro!

Real Estate Developers Prateek Gera and Carroll Caldwell are excited to announce that the much-requested Panda Express restaurant deal closed on Monday and will begin construction soon.

The restaurant will be located on Fair Park Boulevard directly behind First National Bank and across from Lowe’s.

Gera and Caldwell told JRN that they have worked with Panda Express representatives for the last two years to locate the “perfect” spot for the endeavor.

 

They settled on the purchase of a 1+ acre lot surrounded by multiple restaurants and shopping establishments such as Lowe’s, Krispy Kreme, Hokkaido, Wings to Go, Tacos 4 Life, and more.

The general contractor will begin mobilizing next week, and break ground in early August. Construction is expected to take 3-4 months, with the restaurant opening before the end of the year.

When asked about the time they’ve spent on the project, Caldwell told JRN, “It’s been a long time coming!” Gera added, “This restaurant has been highly requested for many years, and we are excited to bring it to Northeast Arkansas.”
