Restaurant Chain Will Offer 5G for Customers and “surrounding neighbors” at Approx. 2400 Locations

By B.N. Frank

5G warnings and opposition has limited, slowed, and/or stopped deployment in the U.S. including near airports due to dangerous interference issues with aviation equipment (see 1, 2, 3, 4). Nevertheless, deployment and activation has continued in the U.S. and will expand soon to approximately 2400 restaurants and their neighborhoods.

Panda Express Adds a Side of 5G to Its Menu

Panda Express, a California-based chain of American-Chinese food restaurants has made a deal with 5G provider, Kroo. In addition to its signature Orange Chicken, Panda Express will now provide 5G connectivity, courtesy of its “rooftop delivery.” With approximately 2,400 locations, the restaurant can potentially expand digital coverage to a lot of consumers, reports Restaurant Business.

“Panda Express is continuously seeking ways to contribute to the communities we serve,” stated Roger Goldstein, Panda Restaurant Group’s Executive Director of Facilities. “Enhanced 5G cell service for our guests and surrounding neighbors is a win-win for our stores, associates and our greater community.”

Matthew Glass, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Kroo, agreed noting, “We are excited for the opportunity to work with Panda Express, as we are expediting phase one trial build by year end. We have put together a team of best-in-class partners who are more than up to the task with respect to the design, build and operation of our network.”

While neither partner commented on the financial arrangement between them, the combination of lease fees for one and greater digital outreach for the other suggests a mutually beneficial situation. The multi-year deal is poised to begin its rollout before the end of 2022.

In addition to aviation risks, doctors and scientists have been asking for 5G moratoriums on Earth and in space since 2017 due to biological and environmental health risks (see 1, 2, 3, 4) and the majority of scientists oppose deployment. Since 2018 there have been reports of people and animals experiencing symptoms and illnesses after 5G was activated (see 1, 2. 3, 4, 5 ). In 2019, telecom executives gave congressional testimony that they had NO independent scientific evidence that it’s safe. Some researchers have also suggested that activation may be contributing to COVID-19 infections as well as hundreds of thousands if not millions of bird deaths. Of course, research has also determined that with exposure to 4G and other sources of wireless Wi-Fi radiation and electromagnetic fields (aka “Electrosmog”) is harmful too. Nevertheless, the Federal Communications Commission (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) – the regulatory agency which lost a lawsuit for NOT updating wireless radiation guidelines (including 5G) since 1996 – and other American government and state agencies and committees (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) have continued to promote and fund 5G deployment and densification (see 1, 2) as well as that of 4G and public Wi-Fi (which also poses known health and environmental risks). Now that Panda Express has jumped on this insidious bandwagon, will other restaurant chains do the same?!

Other widely reported issues associated with 5G include poor service (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), cybersecurity risks (see 1, 2). Dangerous 5G interference issues ARE NOT isolated to aviation equipment either (see 1, 2, 3)! Efforts to stop 5G deployment continue to increase worldwide which only seems appropriate.
