PANDA EXPRESS EXPLORING LOCATION IN BRENHAM

  

Brenham could be getting a Panda Express.

Local economic and development officials say the fast food restaurant chain, which offers American Chinese dishes, is evaluating opening a location in front of Walmart on Highway 36 South, between Bush’s Chicken and the Murphy USA fuel station.

Brenham | Washington County Economic Development Director Teresa Rosales said work is currently being done on platting a pad site parcel with Walmart and adjusting shared access easements to accommodate the site.  City of Brenham Development Services Director Stephanie Doland said the next step after that will be getting a building permit from the city. 

Doland said there is not a timeline for when construction of the restaurant would start, as plans have not yet been submitted.  She cautioned that it is still very early on in the process, but said the chain is “strongly considering” Brenham.
