Panera Bread's 1st Navarre location is on the way. Here's what to know about their plans.

Panera Bread's footprint in Santa Rosa County is growing with the addition of a new restaurant.

Plans to build Navarre's first Panera Bread location have been approved by the county.

The restaurant will be built between the AutoZone and Dunkin Donuts/Baskin-Robbins on Navarre Parkway on a 0.75-acre parcel. The building will be 3,200 square feet, according to the project’s approved site plan, and will include a drive-thru and 32 parking spots.

New Panera Bread under construction: Noticed the construction on West Nine Mile Road? A popular restaurant is coming soon.

Panera Bread is a national restaurant chain that started in 1987 and has expanded its footprint to 48 different states within the U.S., including 188 locations across Florida. The chain is known for its sandwiches, soups and variety of baked goods.

This new location will be Panera’s third restaurant in Santa Rosa County. Their other locations within the county can be found in Gulf Breeze and Pace. They also have a new location under construction in northwest Pensacola, which will be their first restaurant in that area as well.

The plans for this project were filed with Santa Rosa County in late May and were approved on Aug. 19.

Navarre ATZ Development, LLC is the listed owner of the project.
