Why Small Businesses Matter
Shop small, do big things for your community
Why Small Businesses Matter puts a spotlight on the local merchants who donate their time, talent, goods, and services for the betterment of our community. The shop local movement spreads virally as local businesses who are “tagged” have the opportunity to share their story!
You're IT Peter Chang!
Three questions with Peter Chang.
Why did you start your business?
Coming from China, it's been difficult for me to find good, authentic Chinese food in the United States. When I ate at a Peter Chang in Virginia for the first time, it was the best meal I had eaten in America. I knew Connecticut sorely needed a restaurant like this, and when the opportunity arose to open a Peter Chang location in Fairfield County, I wanted to do everything in my power to make it happen.
What is your best selling product/service?
Our Peking Duck has been doing extremely well and has received high praise from many of our customers. We've had customers who have gone so far as to say that it's been the best Peking Duck they've had in the United States, and the best they've had outside of China. They are all pleased that they no longer have to make the trek to New York City for good Peking Duck.
As of now, we employ over 25 employees, a good number of whom are currently college students or recent high school graduates from Stamford, Norwalk, Fairfield, and Bridgeport. Our general manager has also lived in Fairfield Country for most of his life, growing up in Greenwich and living a good number of years in Stamford. He understands as well as anyone who grew up in the area the significance of having authentic Chinese food in the area.
