If you’ve driven by Montgomery Promenade lately, you’ve probably noticed another new addition to the shopping center. Panera Bread had their grand opening last week, only to be shut down later in the day for not having their CO permits. I’m not sure when they are reopening, but I’ll take a look next time I drive by.
The new Panera is located at Montgomery Promenade, the development anchored by Whole Foods Market on Route 206. What I’m excited about is the Drive Through option. Call me lazy, but sometimes when you’re multitasking or have a car full of kids, a drive through option is just what you need.
For Montgomery, I think this is a nice addition because it gives us another casual spot to grab breakfast or lunch, meet up with someone, or even bring your laptop and get a little work done. I’m always looking for new spots to meet up with friends, and get a little work done!
Panera is just one piece of what’s happening at Montgomery Promenade. Slated to open in the next 30 days is a Deluxe Dentristy, and Wonder. There are still more changes coming to the development, including 34 new single-family homes planned near the shopping center. I’ll be sharing more about those once additional information on pricing and timing becomes available.
In the meantime, have you checked out the Montgomery Promenade yet?

I always love hearing what other Montgomery residents think — especially when it comes to new restaurants, shops, and things to do around town.
