After what feels like centuries of wonder, the sign for a new fast-food restaurant is finally up at the establishment’s construction site on Latson Road near I-96.

The sign for Panda Express went up last week, as interested Howell residents waited patiently for confirmation on what is officially being constructed.

Panda Express serves mostly Chinese-fare. Another location is on W. Grand River in Brighton.

The entrance to Panda Express will be located on southbound Latson Rd. near entrance ramps to I-96. Other surrounding restaurants include Panera Bread, Culver’s, Tim Horton’s, and Buffalo Wild Wings.

The restaurant has what appears to be a drive-through window and an indoor seating area. It is located near the entrance to Lowe’s and shares pavement with the nearby shopping center.

No word on an opening date.
