The planned Panera Bread and Wawa were businesses that should've been ready to go in Brick last year, but of, course Covid-19 got in the way. We were excited for these two along Rt. 70 in 2019. Finally, several weeks ago they started building the two of them next to each other. There's one, Panera Bread in Ocean County at Rt. 37 in Toms River. It will be great to have another location in Ocean County. If you're unfamiliar with Panera Bread, their main core is "food positivity". From their website, Panera Bread uses fresh, high-quality, and clean ingredients. Available options at Panera Bread: delicious sandwiches with their delicious slices of bread, flatbread pizzas, salads, kids meals, and more.
