Above is the location that I am assuming will be the next Panera Bread in Ocean County. Right along Route 72 in Manahawkin, next to the newly built Chick-Fil-A in Stafford Township. No word yest as to when this location could begin work or when it may be compleated. It will add to a fantastic selection of eateries now in Southern Ocean County, one of the fatest growing areas at the Jersey Shore.

This will definately be a very busy location with Panera Bread and Chick-Fil-A teaming up for this stop. Have you visited the new Chick-Fil-A? We enjoyed the Manahawkin location.
