New restaurant headed to University City

Pei Wei, the Pan-Asian chain, plans a ribbon-cutting at 10:30 a.m. June 19 at its second Charlotte location, 8944 J.M. Keynes Drive, in the restaurant-hungry University City area.

If you go by, you can get prizes, food samples and the chance at a Pei Wei gift card good for a free entree a week for a year.

The new restaurant also is bringing 50 jobs to the area; fill out an application at jobs.peiwei.com.

The restaurant’s first location in Charlotte is in Ballantyne, at 13855 Conlan Circle.
