Andrew and Peggy Cherng, are the founders and builders of Panda Express, the largest Chinese fast food restaurant chain in history today. They started the company in 1973 with a Panda Inn restaurant in east Pasadena, and expanded to a national powerhouse with 423 outlets in 34 states, with 5,000 employees and about $300 million in annual sales. Now the husband-and-wife team wants to build Panda into a much larger company ? establishing Chinese food firmly in the center of the American diet. The Cherngs, still in their early 50s, don?t want to sell Panda. They have visions of a bigger company and a broader purpose. ?Chinese food is not on Americans? weekly to-do list yet, but it could be,? says Andrew Cherng.
