As a passionate supporter of Panda Express, I hold dear the memory of last year's Dodgers win promotion. That $5 offer was not only a great value but also a special family experience. The meals we shared, enjoyed, and celebrated touched our souls. However, this has been disrupted with the 20% price increase. A $6 promotion might not sound much different, but for families on a tight budget, it's a strain on both their pockets and their enjoyment of a great game's win.

Panda Express, as a leading fast-food chain, has a responsibility to its customers. The $1 increase can translate into millions in annual profits for the company, but it leaves many of us, including myself, feeling left out. Quick service restaurants saw a 7.1% price increase compared to pre-pandemic prices (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics), but passing this cost onto loyal customers isn't the solution.

Let's rally together and ask Panda Express to reconsider their decision. The $5 Dodgers win promotion was a tradition that brought joy to many homes, bridging the love for good food and the spirit of sport. Let's remind them we matter as customers and we'd love to have our tradition back at a rate we can all afford. It's about more than just the meal—it's about continuing a tradition that lights up our lives in these challenging times. Sign this petition to urge Panda Express to bring back the $5 Dodgers win promotion.
