Panera Bread To Open Thursday

Restaurant occupies the former Hamilton Sofa Gallery on Maple Avenue

Panera Bread will open at 136 Maple Avenue tomorrow, according to Town of Vienna officials.

The chain restaurant, a bakery-café that sells soups, sandwiches, salads and bakery items,  has been renovating the former Hamilton Sofa Gallery since the winter. The restaurant will be 3,775 square feet and have 100 seats.

Smith Trent, joint venture area director of Panera Bread, said earlier this year that the company looks forward to “offering the many business professionals and families in the community fresh and wholesome food choices, paired with the convenient service their busy schedules demand.”
