The new bakery-cafe in Bedford Hills will be located at Bedford Greens on 117, 719 North Bedford Road (Rt. 117), and is scheduled to open August 9, 2010.
Panera Bread freshly bakes more bread every day than any other bakery-cafe in the nation, serving more than 16 varieties. Freshly baked breads and bread products form the foundation of the Panera Bread bakery-cafe menu – from breakfast bagels and muffins to sandwiches, hand-tossed salads and soups served in Sourdough Bread Bowls.
With its identity rooted in handcrafted, fresh-baked, artisan bread, Panera Bread is committed to providing great tasting, quality food that people can trust. Highlighted by antibiotic free chicken, whole grain bread, select organic and all-natural ingredients and a menu with zero grams artificial trans fat per serving, Panera’s bakery-cafe selection offers flavorful, wholesome offerings. The menu includes a wide variety of year-round favorites, complemented by new items introduced seasonally with the goal of creating new standards in everyday food choices. In neighborhoods across the United States and in Ontario, Canada, guests are enjoying Panera’s warm and welcoming environment featuring comfortable gathering areas, relaxing decor and free Internet access. At the close of each day, Panera Bread bakery-cafes donate bread and baked goods to community organizations in need.
The opening of this franchised bakery-cafe is the twelfth in the planned growth of Panera Bread in Southern NY, following an opening in White Plains in August of 2009. The franchisee Take Home The Bread, LLC plans to open 10 more new bakery-cafes in the area over the next five years.
