A new Panda Express could be opening soon in Daytona Beach on LPGA Boulevard near North Clyde Morris Boulevard in a matter of weeks.
The 2,700-square-foot restaurant is located at 1950 LPGA Blvd. and will have a two-lane drive-thru area. Troy Perkins, a project manager with Gerald N Candito Construction out of Georgia, said he and a Panda Express representative would be conducting the final walkthrough on either Dec. 2 or 3 and, barring any issues, would just be waiting on the final approval paperwork from Daytona Beach.
Once a certificate for occupancy is issued, the restaurant could open within the week, Perkins said. A representative from Panda Express could not be reached in time for the publication of this article.
The Panda Express is one of several new restaurants under construction in the area between Williamson Boulevard and North Clyde Morris on LPGA. The area is near Tanger Outlets shopping plaza and abuts a new large apartment complex.
A Bojangles – a quick-service Southern chicken restaurant – directly neighboring the Panda Express at 1956 LPGA Boulevard is also wrapping up construction.
The Bojangles is a 3,170 square-foot building that will also have a two-lane drive-thru and has an occupancy load of 73. Daytona Beach first announced the LPGA Bojangles would be opening soon on June 5 on the city Facebook page. This will be the first Bojangles to open in the area, according to the restaurant’s website.
According to city documents, the Bojangles is undergoing the final review process. While the final building review is pending, the project has already passed a fire site, electrical, gas, mechanical and plumbing final review at the end of November.
Nearby at 1972 LPGA Blvd., a second Daytona Beach Dutch Bros, a drive-thru coffee shop is under construction, and White Castle has announced its fourth store location in Florida, to be located at 1944 LPGA Boulevard, on the east lot next to the Panda Express. No plans or applications have been filed yet with Daytona Beach for the White Castle, according to the city’s website.
Neither the Daytona Beach planning department nor the communications department could be reached for an interview regarding the above projects.
