Panera Bread

Panera began in 1980 as a single, 400-square-foot cookie store in Boston, Massachusetts, and is now a leading restaurant brand with more than 2,300 bakery-cafes in the United States and Canada, and 140,000 associates.

Panera’s success has been fueled by one thing: an unending desire to bring to life fresh ideas about living and eating well. They want their guests to know the joys of great food served by people who truly care. They want them to have the food they crave, when they want it, how they want it, where they want it. They have never stopped innovating to do just that.
