Downtown Grand Rapids is losing another quick bite option. Earlier this year, the Biggby Coffee in McKay Tower shut down, as did Rev Juice Bar on Ottawa Ave. Now, after more than 13 years in business, the Panera Bread near Louis Campau Promenade is joining that list and closing its doors for good.
This bums me out, as I imagine it does other downtown workers. Ever since the nearby Subway closed back in 2021, Panera has been my fallback spot.
The last day of business for the 99 Monroe Ave NW restaurant will be Oct. 20.
