To kick off the official start of summer and bring awareness to its fan-favorite You Pick 2 deal, Panera launched a mix-and-match collection of Panera Swim Soups. This line of swimsuits boast bold designs that take cues from five Panera menu items like the Creamy Tomato Soup and the iconic Broccoli Cheddar Soup.
The Panera Swim Soups: the You Pick 2 Collection includes swim trunks, bikinis, swim tank tops and one-piece suits so that the styles can effortlessly be mixed and matched by foodies and fashionistas alike. Like the deal, Panera's branded swimsuits are all about giving people the choices that fit their taste preferences best.
Previously, Panera launched the original Panera Swim Soups collection in 2021 in celebration of "soup aficionados who eat hot soup no matter the time of year."
