The first Panda Inn was founded by Andrew and Peggy Cherng and Andrew's father, Master Chef Ming-Tsai Cherng, all of whom used to live in the Yangzhou region of China's Jiangsu province. Their first location was opened on June 8, 1973, in Pasadena, California. A short time after Ming-Tsai died, a second location was opened in 1982 in nearby Glendale. A few months after the opening of the Glendale location of the Panda Inn in 1982, the Cherngs were invited by the developer of the Glendale Galleria to open a quick serve version of the Panda Inn inside the mall. This new concept was called the Panda Express and it opened inside the Galleria in October 1983.
