Stafford County’s third Panera restaurant will open at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, May 29. The first 50 guests will receive a year’s free “You Pick Two” meals.
“You Pick Two” meals will allow rewarded guests to select any combination of two half-size entrees from the Panera Bread menu.
The new restaurant will be at 940 Wonder Road, in the Embrey Mill Town Center in Stafford. Even if you don’t make the first 50, all guests who visit on opening day between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. will have a chance to spin a prize wheel to win free tumblers, car coasters, cookies, bagels, and more.
This location will help create 50-60 new jobs in the community, joining the one other Panera in the Stafford area.
The cafe will offer dining options similar to nearby locations, such as eat-in, rapid pick-up shelves, delivery, catering, and a drive-thru. Dining-in options also include a large patio that wraps around the front and side of the building.
Regular hours are Monday through Saturday, 6 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Sunday 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
“We are thrilled to be opening a new Panera in Stafford. We are excited to grow our presence in this wonderful community and look forward to delivering the great tasting food and impeccable service our Virginia guests have come to expect from Panera,” explained area operating partner Sam Abed.
