Panera Bread relocated its Queen’s Harbour Yacht & Country Club area bakery-café restaurant last week to a standalone building at 13201 Atlantic Blvd.
The building is a former Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar that was renovated and added a drive-thru.
Panera moved from a smaller location within a strip center a half-mile west at 12959 Atlantic Blvd. That location did not have a drive-thru.
Applebee’s closed in July 2017 and Tampa-based Brightwork Real Estate, through BW Atlantic 90 LLC, bought the 1.53-acre site to redevelop it.
Contractor The Angelo Group Inc. renovated the building.
