National Restaurant Chain Closes Multiple Pittsburgh Locations

PITTSBURGH, PA — A national restaurant chain has shuttered two of its locations in the city.

Panera Bread has closed its restaurants in Bakery Square in East Liberty and on Forbes Avenue in Oakland. Calls to both locations confirmed the closures, and those sites have been removed from the Panera website.

According to the website, Panera has another Oakland location on Terrace Street and eight remaining locations in the Pittsburgh area:

• The Waterworks near Aspinwall.

• Penn Center in Wilkins.

• Settlers Ridge and Montour Church Place in Robinson.

• Greentree Road Shops in Green Tree.

• Shadyside Shops in Shadyside.

• McCandless Crossing in McCandless.

• Caste Village in Whitehall.

Earlier this year, Panera closed another Oakland location on the Boulevard of the Allies to clear the site for a University of Pittsburgh and Radnor Property Group housing and retail redevelopment project.

Another Panera location at the Pittsburgh Mills mall shut down in June.
