A sign of progress at the new Panera Bread coming to Purcellville as the signs have gone up on the exterior of the building.
Meanwhile, a bulldozer was doing some landscaping around the future restaurant where the drive-thru lane wraps around the building.
The town’s first Panera restaurant is opening in the Catoctin Corner retail center. That’s the same plaza with the 7-Eleven, the Dunkin’, and the Chipotle.
It was back in May that The Burn first broke the news about Panera coming to the spot, so they’ve made relatively quick progress.
We can see online that hiring for sandwich makes, bakers, and other positions is already underway.
While no opening date has been announced yet, it shouldn’t be too much longer.
