PF CHANG'S CHINA BISTRO TO OPEN FIRST TAMPA BAY LOCATION AT WESTSHORE PLAZA _______________________________________________________________
TAMPA, Fla. (April 2, 2002) - American Freeholds, managing partner of WestShore Plaza, announced today that PF Chang's China Bistro will open its first Tampa Bay location at WestShore Plaza in the first quarter of 2003. PF Chang's will offer diners traditional Chinese cuisine prepared from fresh ingredients, including premium herbs and spices imported directly from China.
The 7,000 square feet restaurant will be located adjacent to the mall entrance facing WestShore Boulevard, close to Maggiano's Little Italy and Palm restaurants.
"We have been in discussions with PF Chang's for several years about a potential location at WestShore Plaza, and we are very happy that they will move in next to Maggiano's and Palm," said Andrew Galbraith, vice president of American Freeholds. "After the overwhelmingly positive response Maggiano's and Palm have received, we are confident PF Chang's will further enhance the dining and entertainment experience at WestShore Plaza, making it one of the best in Tampa Bay."
Fresh, contemporary and consistently outstanding are the trademarks of P.F. Chang's China Bistro. This stylish, high-energy bistro serves traditional Chinese cuisine with a modern twist to create a truly unique dining experience. Chefs use wok-style cooking to prepare the dynamic menu in an open exhibition kitchen, focusing on lightly sauced dishes that heighten the senses and allow natural flavors to emerge. The servers customize dipping sauces at the table and can guide guests through their culinary journey with recommendations to complement their favorite dishes.
"The Tampa Bay PF Chang's is an exciting addition to our family of restaurants," said Laura Cherry, national public relations manager for PF Chang's. "We feel WestShore Plaza is the perfect host partner for us in Tampa Bay because of its central location and its proven appeal with food lovers in the area."
