The Fox Run Mall was a central part for all folks no matter the age race or gender, It's where we all spent time shopping for holidays or enjoying weekends with friends, everyone was creating lasting memories over shopping . However, since the mall's closure, that area has become unrecognizable, and many of us in the community feel a void where there once was vibrancy and life.

The empty lot where the mall once stood holds the potential to become a new hub of community and connection, and I believe a Panda Express would be the perfect addition. Its presence could bring people together over shared meals, reigniting a sense of community pride and belonging that we have been missing.

Moreover, Panda Express is known for affordable, quick service and quality food. Benefits that would appeal to the diverse population of Portsmouth, from busy families to young professionals and students at nearby institutions. The introduction of Panda Express could also create much needed jobs in the region, providing opportunities for employment in construction, restaurant operations, and management.

Portsmouth / Newington is a growing community and introducing more dining options is essential for both residents and visitors. The addition of a Panda Express could attract people from neighboring towns and enhance our local economy just like how the Fox Run Mall used to do. .

By signing this petition, you're supporting more than just a new restaurant; you're helping us rebuild a community gathering space that everyone can enjoy. Sign our petition to advocate for a Panda Express at the former Fox Run Mall site and contribute to the revitalization of our beloved Portsmouth community.
