Scott AFB Exchange celebrates opening of Exchange Mall Panda Express
The Scott Air Force Base Exchange celebrated the grand opening of Panda Express at the Exchange Mall on Jan. 5.
Col. Laura Lenderman, 375th Air Mobility Wing Commander, helped Scott Exchange General Manager Rita Sheridan cut the ribbon to the restaurant to the cheers and applause from hungry patrons awaiting the store’s opening. The restaurant, which offers a wide variety of Chinese-inspired entrees such as orange chicken, Beijing beef, General Tso’s chicken and honey walnut shrimp, is the first Panda Express to open at an Exchange mall or food court.
The opening of Panda Express strengthens our goal to make the Scott Exchange a one-stop shopping, dining and entertainment destination for our military family here at Scott Air Force Base.
