About Panera Bread
Our first bakery-cafe
opened in 1987, founded with a secret sourdough starter and the
belief that the best part of bread is sharing it. That vision led
to the invention of the Fast Casual category with Panera at the
forefront, serving as America's kitchen table centered around our
delicious menu of chef-curated recipes that are crafted with care
by our team members. We make food that we are proud to serve our
own families, from crave-worthy soups, salads and sandwiches to mac
and cheese and sweets. Each recipe is filled with ingredients we
feel good about and none of those we don't because we are committed
to serving our guests food that feels good in the moment and long
after. While our company is now nearly 2,200 bakery-cafes strong,
our values and belief in the lasting power of a great meal remain
as strong as ever. We spend each day filling bellies, building
empowered teams and inspiring communities. Nothing beats breaking
bread together.
As of May 28, 2024 there were
2,182 bakery-cafes, company and franchise, in 48 states and
Washington D.C., and in Ontario,
Canada, operating under the Panera Bread® or
Saint Louis Bread Co.® names. Panera Bread is part of
