About Me
Andrew Cherng cofounded Chinese fast-food chain Panda Express, alongside his wife Peggy Cherng. Born in China, his family moved to Taiwan and Japan before he immigrated to the U.S., where he met Peggy as a freshman at Baker University in Kansas. The couple launched Panda Express in 1983 in a Glendale, California mall. Today the 2,500-location chain stretches from the U.S. to Canada, Mexico, Dubai and South Korea. The Cherngs are co-CEOs. In 2018, the couple invested in a group that bought the Mandarin Oriental hotel, now the Waldorf Astoria, in Las Vegas for $214 million.
