Recently, CFT NV Developments LLC submitted plans to tear down the Langhorne Speedway Diner and construct a 2,540 Panda Express with a drive-thru lane.
The proposal will have to go through the land development process.
Servet Okusal, the owner of the diner, told LevittownNow.com the plan is just a proposal based on an offer out there to purchase the diner. He noted the diner is staying open for right now and he looks forward to seeing his customers.

The proposed Panda Express and drive-thru lane would go where the diner sits presently. There would be upgrades to the parking area of the 1.6-acre property.
The plans call for 87 parking spaces, a slight decrease from what is presently there. There would also be a reduction pavement and increase in green space at the lot.

The eatery was known as the Blue Fountain Diner until a name change in 2017. The Langhorne Speedway Diner name is in homage to the racetrack that operated in the area from 1926 until 1971
