STAFFORD – After nearly five years since its approval by the town, Panera Bread finally opened on December 8 in Manahawkin.
It was a long time coming as the plans to open the business were first considered all the way back in October 2017, with residents patiently waiting for its arrival.
The Panera Bread, located at 434 Route 72 in Manahawkin, is in the same parking lot as the Chick-fil-A that opened earlier this year.
Just like the Chick-fil-A, there isn’t an answer as to why it took so long to open; although a nation-wide pandemic didn’t help the process. But residents can now enjoy a new place to eat which offers dine-in and drive-thru service as well as delivery.
