Comings & Goings: Panera Bread ‘Opening Soon’

Panera Bread will “open soon” at Westport’s 1860 Post Road East, in the shopping center anchored by HomeGoods, according to a sign on the front door. The space was previously occupied by True Grace Nail Spa, which opened in December 2010, and relocated under the new name of Royal Nail and Spa, within the same shopping center. Panera said the company plans to employ 40 to 60 people in Westport and job postings have been put up on Internet job sites. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
