Would you say that 2024 was a good year for Panera Bread? I didn't seem to notice any closures or anything of that sort. I hope I'm not wrong since I would hate to see Panera Bread struggle in this economy. This is the sort of economy that would make... — read more 

Panera Bread shuttered completely in Alameda this March. I was there once or twice and I had a pleasant experience but to hear others tell it every outing here was a nightmare to overcome rather than a nice dinner out with family and friends. All I... — read more 

Panera Bread is still the best restaurant chain in town. The food is great everywhere but what makes a difference here is that Panera Bread actually cleans their restaurants! I do NOT want to dine and see a bug walk across several tables next to... — read more

Are they closed here or? They didn't work last week.

I don't want to sound callous or anything but perhaps it is time for Panera Bread to get rid of some restaurants that are underperforming so they could save some money and instead improve their other restaurants. This would be good for businesses I... — read more 

It looked as such when I passed by it. Or was it just a slow day?

Panera Bread in Oneonta - will it close

The Panera Bread in Hickory on 2nd Street closed a few days ago with dudes coming in with trucks to remove the sign from the building. That was kinda sad to see. I like Panera Bread. It is one of the few restaurant chains that feels "real" to me.

Panera Bread @ 26541 Aliso Creek Road closed a few months ago with little to no fanfare and it's hard to be surprised, really. The restaurant didn't do well these past couple of years.

They sometimes don't work during certain week days. What's going on?

Panera Bread closed here forever. What happened to it? Why did it close?

A good enough place to sit and relax. I suppose. The drinks weren't cold. Room temperature.

Why did that happen? It's open now so things are great I suppose but what happened before?

It is a shame that the restaurant went out of business. I really liked the dishes that they served. Like, really really. I had the impression that they would stay open indefinitely.

This is a bummer. I loved this Panera. Well, not really "loved" but I did really like it. Like I said, bummer.

Panera Bread in Reston has closed but temporarily. Hope they will open again soon and that this temporary closing doesn't turn out to be a permanent one.

Panera Bread was at some point closed temporarily for a time in Pewaukee. I'm relieved to see they have reopened and are still thriving in their business.

This is a travesty! I would have never guessed that they would close the Panera Bread in Louis Mall for good. They closed it down a few times but it was only temporary. I'm so shocked right... — read more 

Why did Winnetka close? What had happened??? I'm so confused.

It was only temporary though, I hope this won't happen again and the closing ends up being permanent.

Panera Brea on 1428 Alton Rd in Miami Beach, FL. Closed a couple of years ago. Why? What happened to it?

Santa Barbara has one less Panera Bread as the one in the La Cumbre Plaza seemingly closed recently. It must have been relatively recent because I remember it being open right when the lockdowns started.

I always knew that the Panera Bread @ 1670 W State St would close and lo and behold it sure did. I'm not happy about this however, I wished they could stay open. If that Panera Bread could have been managed a little better it would still be open... — read more 

I had an amazing time at the Panera Bread on Grant Street in Denver and I was saddened to hear that they closed but now I hear people say that that place was a health hazard and now I don't know what to think anymore. I don't know if those claims are... — read more 

The only reason I was upset about this closure is 'cause this Panera Bread was relatively close to my workplace. If it weren't for that I wouldn't even give this restaurant a second glance.

The only thing that I feel sad about is that the location went downhill as the years went on. It was such a damn disappointment that I couldn't be bothered to be upset when I found out that Panera Bread finally left S Broad St.

Panera Bread's Bentonville AR location looks like it closed. What happened? Why did it close

The Winter Haven Panera Bread, the 500 Cletus Allen Dr one. Is it closed? I could swear I read somewhere that it closed but I heard someone in passing mention that they ate there recently. That couldn't be true, right?

I keep getting conflicting statements. Last year it looked like it was open but people say that it's closed now while on Yelp it says that it's closed but only temporarily.

It took me by surprise that the place closed. It's a shame. How many are left in San Francisco now?

Why did Panera Bread close? I am trying to figure out why they would leave their 501 Wilshire Blvd location behind. I realize this happened during the pandemic or the year before... correct me if I am wrong though. I liked that location a lot. I do... — read more 

The Panera Bread in Delray Beach closed recently, the one at S Federal Hwy. I am one of the few that apparently enjoyed that Panera Bread. I dunno why people disliked it so much. Was the customer service bad sometimes. Sure! But it was so obvious... — read more 

The Panera Bread on Airline Drive in Bossier closed. There's another one in Shreveport on East 70th St which is still open (I think) so I don't think this was a huge loss but I'm curious nevertheless. Why did it close? Does anybody know?

This is such a head-scratcher to me. I just don't understand why this happened. I really am flabbergasted by this decision the chain made with this closing. Why did the Panera Bread close in North Haven in Connecticut? What happened?
