Fans of Panera Bread’s soups, sandwiches and salads soon will have another location in the Tri-Cities to get their fix. 

The national bakery-cafe chain will open its second location at 6821 W. Canal Drive in Kennewick at 6 a.m. July 31. And to celebrate, the first 100 guests will receive a year’s worth of You Pick Two meals, a meal combo of two half size entrees from the restaurant’s menu. 

Additionally, through Oct. 31, local nonprofits, including schools, sports teams, scout groups and more can host a fundraising event at the new Panera and the restaurant will donate 30% of the net sales from the event back to the organization. 

“We are excited to grow our presence in this wonderful community and look forward to delivering the great tasting food and impeccable service our local guests have come to expect from Panera,” said Samantha Lewis, the store’s operator, in a statement. 

The store will employ between 55 to 60 people.  

Hours will be 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.
