What has made Panda Express so successful?
The Panda Express chain already dwarfs other Chinese fast-food chains; none come even close in terms of revenue or number of stores. Last year, the company sold $735 million worth of Chinese food, nearly triple the combined sales of the No. 2 and No. 3 players: Pei Wei Asian Diner and Pick Up Stix, says Darren Tristano, executive vice president at Technomic Information Services, which measures restaurant trends.
