We've known that this Asian fast food restaurant has been in the works to open its newest location in Eastern Iowa. No, the place isn't new to the area or really to anyone, but for their grand opening, you can do some good while also getting something for free, depending on if you get there in time.

Back in October of 2024, we told you that Panda Express was opening in the Daven-dorf area on 53rd St. You know, where it's still Davenport but pretty much Bettendorf?

Either way, Panda Express is opening their newest location super soon. If you're reading this article today on March 25th, it's tomorrow. If you're reading this on the 26th, that's today.
