Request to Consider Oswego, NY for a New Panda Express

A vibrant college and tourist town:

Oswego is home to SUNY Oswego, with thousands of students from diverse backgrounds. Each summer, we host Harborfest, a four‑day lakefront festival that draws over 150,000 visitors, creating tremendous food demand. In addition, our historic waterfront, Fort Ontario, and marinas bring tourists year‑round.

Strong traffic and visibility:

Our city sits along Route 104 and Route 481, with heavy daily traffic from students, commuters, and visitors. Oswego is growing and actively investing in new businesses through programs such as the Oswego County IDA and Operation Oswego County, which offer tax abatements, grants, and low‑interest financing—making it a financially attractive place to build.

Why Panda Express fits:

A well‑placed Panda Express with drive‑thru access would thrive here, serving students, residents, and visitors alike. With strong demographics, high visibility, and supportive local development incentives, Oswego is an ideal match.
