Panera Bread has a new site in Erie and that means grand opening specials this week.

The restaurant at 4014 Peach St. opens Tuesday at 6:30 a.m.

Beginning at 10 a.m., the first 500 guests will receive a free coffee mug with free refills for two weeks, according to a postcard I received at home in the mail.

Later Tuesday, and again Wednesday, if you purchase a You-Pick-Two, you can receive a $5 gift card for your next visit, according to the postcard.
