Panera Bread Coming to Plainview

Company confirms it is building a restaurant at former Burger King location.

The owners of Panera Bread have confirmed that they are building a new restaurant on Old Country Road at the site of the former Burger King restaurant.

Company officials confirmed their decision Thursday night to Patch, saying construction of a new restaurant is underway.

The company could not be specific about when the restaurant will be open, but indicated it was at least several months away.

The Town of Oyster Bay confirmed it had issued a building permit to Panera at that site, a town spokesman said.

The site at 1082 Old Country Road had been occupied for years by Burger King. That restaurant closed more than a year ago and has since been demolished.
