Then we grew
As time went by, we opened new bakery-cafes across the country, and we looked for ways to get better. We added calories to our menu (long before we had to), provided free wifi (before it was popular) and switched to poultry and pork raised without antibiotics in our salads and sandwiches.
And here we are today
Now, with over 2,000 bakery-cafes in the U.S. and Canada, we still pay attention to the important things. Like serving food that does not contain artificial preservatives, flavors or sweeteners and colors from artificial sources (see our No No List) and making sure you have a great experience (have you tried online ordering?). All of this, what it all comes down to, is wanting for our guests what we want for our own families. Simply: good food.
Panera Bread.
Food as it should be.
Food should taste good. It should feel good.
