P.F. Chang's continues its dynamic expansion with the addition of five new franchise locations in major airports worldwide. Following openings in Washington D.C. (DCA), Salt Lake City (SLC) and Bengaluru (BLR) in 2023, then Seattle (SEA) in June 2024, P.F. Chang's in partnership with Alsea, has opened another location at the Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla Guadalajara International Airport (GDL) just this month. Additionally, a Letter of Intent has been signed with franchise partner, Four Leaf Ventures, LLC with plans to open a P.F. Chang's in Terminal A at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) in 2025. This expansion is part of the brand's commitment to providing travelers with a unique Pan-Asian dining experience known for its quality and freshness.

P.F. Chang's sets itself apart from other airport dining options by offering both convenience and exceptional quality. The brand delivers quick, efficient service, for travelers on tight schedules while maintaining a superior dining experience with fresh, hand-crafted dishes. This efficient operational model not only ensures cost-effective airport dining but also upholds the brand's high standards of taste and service across all locations. Most P.F. Chang's airport locations also feature breakfast options for early morning travelers, and the Grab n Go component offers convenient options for those on the move. These unique features have contributed to P.F. Chang's domestic and international airport growth of over 150% in the past two years.

"I always tell people what separates our delicious offerings from others at the airport is that we bring the renowned P.F. Chang's excellence to our airport restaurants. We don't sacrifice freshness or service because we are accommodating for speed in an airport model; we evolve to maintain the quality our customers know and expect from the brand while providing a successful, efficient model for our operators," said Rafik Farouk, Vice President of Global Brand Development and Retail. "Our guests expect the high-quality food, Pan-Asian variety and high-end service at our airports just as they do at any of our other locations, and that's what we deliver at every airport, in any country, breakfast, lunch and dinner."
