Panera Coming to Brookside Marketplace

Panera is the latest to add its name to a list of retailers positioned in Brookside Marketplace at the corner of 191st and Harlem Avenue in Tinley Park.

Panera Bread has plans to open a new bakery-café in Tinley Park before the end of 2014. The new 4,200-square-foot location will be located in Brookside Marketplace, at 7204 W. 191st St.

The addition is one of several newcomers to Brookside—including a TJ Maxx which recently opened in space formerly occupied by Lane Bryant.

Panera touts its handcrafted, freshly baked, artisan bread, coupled with antibiotic-free chicken, whole grain bread, select organic and all-natural ingredients and a menu with zero grams added trans fat, according to a release from the company.
