The vacant restaurant space that once housed Panera Bread is 4,800 SF with an additional 1,100 SF of patio space available. Panera Bread closed the restaurant in December 2016, read more on that HERE.
This is the first time this property has been listed for sale and the asking price is $3,500,000.

Remember when it was a boarded up hostel? Unless you can tear it down and build high rise condos it hardly seems worth $3.5M but South Eola has no historic designation so maybe that’s possible?
I absolutely love EO Inn, having stayed there many times.
It would be a dream come true to own that place! While that isn’t possible for me, I wish whomever purchase it all the best and hope they will keep it as an inn.
