I remember this location as a TCBY in the 1990's. There was also a sports trading card shop in this plaza that hit a big boom with the Pokemon craze like many card shops in the late 90's. The Weathervane restaurant in the back plaza used to be very good, now the quality has dropped....the shopping expansion in this town amazes me, it is so congested compared to 20 years ago

Plans were cancelled. Panera citing that it would cost too much money to convert the former CitiBank to a restaurant. They are looking elsewhere in town.
The Southington, Connecticut Planning and Zoning Commission approved plans for a Panera Bread and a Medical Building to be built at 365 Queen Street in Southington on the corner of Loper Street across the street from Price Chopper. The Panera will have a drive-thru. The property previously was under-utilized with an abandoned diner and a 3 store plaza on it.

The Weathervane restaurant -- it is still around?? When I went to my cottage in Maine, I used to stop at the weathervane in Dover or in Sanford.

Yep - they still list 13 locations, all in NH or ME (except Leominister, MA) - Dover & Sanford still listed.
They have shrunk a bit, though from when they had locations over here in NY (and VT, and others in MA).
Update - As of Jan 2014, 12 Locations - 6 in ME, 6 in NH (apparently the MA location closed?). This does not include a couple other concepts they have which are seasonal.

Thanks... The Dover location was an old A&W stand.
The Panera in Southington is coming along nicely. Not sure yet when they're going to be open. It's part of a new development they're building called Cosmo Corner. When finished there will be an Urgent Care Facility there, Panera, and a Sprint Store. Sprint is relocating from next to Aziago's Restaurant.
Panera in Southington, CT opens on February 17, 2014.

Panera is going through the Newington, Connecticut Planning and Zoning Commission to add a drive thru to their restaurant.

For years and years I drove the Ohio Turnpike on a regular basis. The last rest stop in Ohio,
the Glacier Hills Plaza near Youngstown, had a beat-up old McDonalds there for food service.
I stopped there the other day for the first time in many years. The McDonalds is gone.
The entire rest stop building having been replaced with a more modern one.
The new food service vendors were Dairy Queen and Panera.
I guess the Turnpike Commission detected some major change in the people who were driving
the turnpike, and/or their culinary habits? ???

Possibly, or possibly that Dairy Queen and Panera offered the turnpike group a better offer for a rental deal when a new contract was coming up.
The Panera in the outlot of the Eureka Road side of the Southgate Shopping Center in Southgate, Michigan has abruptly closed. It opened in 2002, alongside neighbor Buffalo Wild Wings, which was remodeled in 2013 and is staying open.

Panera will be closing their location in the Townline Square Plaza on Route 5 on the Meriden/Wallingford line and will be moving further down Route 5 into Wallingford as a out parcel where Lowe's is - joining Chic-Fil-A. Chipolte will also be building a restaurant there.
Construction has begun (by way of land clearing) on the new Chipotle and Panera on Route 5 in Wallingford, CT. They are being built by Lowe's near the new Chic Fil A

I believe they are building a new location in Dayville, CT where the old Carvel plaza used to be.

It looks like I was completely wrong with my prediction lol. The old Carvel plaza was razed and torn down for a new plaza containing a Moe's Southwest Grill and T-Mobile accessory store.
