Panera Coming to Downtown Brooklyn

In another big coup for Downtown Brooklyn (hello, Shake Shack), the popular (over 1,400 outlets around the country) soup-and-sandwich restaurant Panera will be setting up shop at 345 Adams Street, reports The Brooklyn Eagle; this is the first lease signed by Muss Development since it took over and began repositioning the first two floors of the city office building. While the move solidifies the trend of upscale chains putting down roots in the Fulton Mall area, it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise: We had hints about this last year and even predicted the tenant would be a Panera as recently as August. Update: Crain’s also has a story up now along with a higher-res rendering. Check it out here.
