How to get Panera soup delivered for free in metro Atlanta on May 9

A previous version of this article incorrectly listed the day of the promotion.

If you have a sneaky premonition that you’ll be craving soup tomorrow, you’re in luck: Panera Bread is delivering the stuff for free in metro Atlanta.

Every Panera delivery order will include the option to receive a free cup of soup — the chain's most popular item — with the code "PANERADELIVERS" on Wednesday, a press release said. A $5 order minimum and $3 delivery service fee applies.

The promotion comes as Panera announces its expansion of national delivery. Last July, the chain was looking to hire 358 employees to expand its delivery service to the Atlanta area.

The company employs its own drivers in every market as opposed to using third-party delivery services, in order “to help ensure a better delivery experience,” the statement said.

Delivery service is available within an eight-minute drive of a Panera location. Cafes generally deliver between the hours of 11 a.m. and 8 p.m., seven days a week.
