Panera Bread Café In Stony Brook University Hospital Now Open

Panera Bread at Stony Brook University Hospital is now open.

The cafe celebrated its grand opening in the hospital's New Wing on March 11 at 101 Nicolls Road.

The café operates Monday – Sunday, 6 AM – 10 PM and is located on the fifth floor of the hospital in a newly constructed wing named “The Brook.”

Panera said it would hire 60 staffers when it announced the new location last month.

Prior to the store's opening, the cafe and hospital personnel hosted a fundraiser for the Stony Brook University Cancer Center where employees donated directly to the Cancer Center, raising a total of $1,500.
