Tomorrow, Thursday, April 30, Panera Bread will open its first location in Manchester at 6 a.m.
Panera will host a “baguette breaking” ceremony, and the first 100 guests will win free meals for a year. Winners will have a year of free You Pick Two® meals, allowing them to mix and match soups, salads, and sandwiches throughout the year. The Panera in Manchester is located at 2300 Hillsboro Blvd.
“We’re excited to bring Panera to Manchester and continue expanding in the Nashville area. We look forward to serving our guests with the delicious food and warm, welcoming service Panera is known for,” a Panera representative said.
The location will be open Monday-Saturday: 6am-9pm and Sunday: 7am-9pm, creating 25-30 jobs for the Manchester community.
This location features Panera’s modern café format, combining a streamlined footprint with updated ordering kiosks and a fully digitized menu. Designed with convenience in mind, the café offers limited counter seating while catering primarily to guests on the go.
From opening day through June 30, 2026, local nonprofit organizations — including schools, sports teams, and scout groups — can host fundraising events at the Manchester Panera. During each event, Panera will donate 30% of net sales back to the participating organization.
