As of last weekend, Shoprite shopping center located in Chester NJ received a new and exciting addition to their already thriving businesses by replacing what was a Burger King to now having a Panera Bread. From my own personal experience, I have been to the new Panera twice and my only complaint would be the limited amount of seating. The food as always is great because who could go wrong with a French Baguette as a side! But because of the limited number of booths, it was very hard to find seating. The interior is much different than the Panera Bread of Morristown for it is a more modern version with long tables, lounge chairs, and a more restaurant feel to it whereas Morristown’s is more cafe style. From what I have seen, the new Panera Bread has been packed for the past week and has received a lot of publicity from the customers who have been there. I have not yet tried the drive-thru but from what I have heard it has been just as delicious! So, when you are driving on route 206 heading to the heart of Chester, make sure to look out for the clumps of white and green balloons in celebration of the new Panera Bread which has opened with a fantastic start.
