The soon-to-come restaurants in Grand Junction have been a surprise but so has the closing of a restaurant in the Mesa Mall. The closed subway has been a place for eating and hanging out, but now there is a new place to eat with the new Panda Express opened on March 28, 2024.

     People in Fruita 8/9 are very excited such as students and staff mrs Basham the culinary teacher said “I'm really sad that the subway closed, but I am super excited about the new Panda Express opening” She told us this and she just like other `students they feel the same about the panda express.

     Cade Bear, a 9th grader said in an interview: “No way I'm so excited!” him saying this shows how most students and staff feel about the new restaurant. And while it's just a restaurant in Grand Junction, it's much more because many people not only in Grand Junction get to go there but all the surrounding areas.

     To say the least, Panda Express is a very high place of interest for all of Fruita 8/9. It's a restaurant where people get to hang out with friends and enjoy a warm meal. Now every student and staff member gets to eat Chinese food and hang out with their family and friends. And now with the recent opening of it it is now open to everyone anywhere.
