Surprise reopening in downtown Rockville: Panera Bread on East Middle Lane is back in business for the first time since 2020. With the courts in session again, workers returning to their offices and hotel guests coming back to the Cambria hotel upstairs, staffers say there’s enough traffic to keep Panera in business from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays. For now at least, the restaurant will remain dark on Saturdays and Sundays.
