Panera began in 1987 as St. Louis Bread Company, a humble community bakery founded with a sourdough starter from San Francisco and a dream of putting a loaf of bread in every arm. While our business has expanded well beyond St. Louis since then, that same sourdough starter is still used in our iconic sourdough bread and the craft of baking bread fresh each day remains at the heart of Panera Bread. Each day, our trained bakers fill our bakery shelves with delicious freshly baked cookies, pastries, bagels, and a range of breads from focaccia to classic baguettes.

We believe in serving delicious, freshly prepared, clean  food made with carefully selected ingredients that we are proud to serve our own families. Our menu, crafted by chefs and bakers, features classic, comforting dishes, each with an intriguing twist.

We respect our planet and take measures to lessen our impacts. We believe in treating people with warmth, kindness, and respect, whether it’s a guest in our cafe or one of our associates. And we believe in helping our local communities, especially in times of need.

We’re also focused on improving quality and convenience. With investments in technology and operations, we offer omni-channel access to your Panera favorites – like mobile ordering, catering, and Rapid Pick-Up® for to-go orders, Curbside pick-up and delivery – all designed to make things easier for our guests.

Today, Panera operates as both Panera Bread® or Saint Louis Bread Co St. Louis Bread Company in 48 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. 

Panera Bread is privately held by JAB Holding Company. Panera Bread is part of Panera Brands, one of the largest fast-casual restaurant platforms in the U.S., comprised of Panera Bread®, Caribou Coffee® and Einstein Bros.® Bagels.

In honor of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, Lukas Schmid, VP, Manufacturing and Andy Correll, Senior Manager, National Distribution would like to share our appreciation for Panera’s truck drivers. Panera’s truck drivers make it possible for cafes to serve our communities. 
 
“They say that truckers are the unsung heroes of our society, the backbone of our economy by transporting goods across the country. At Panera Bread, they certainly are. 

Our truck drivers deliver food daily, driving through extreme weather and oftentimes rough road conditions, while staying safe and in compliance with all applicable regulations. We truly appreciate their dedication, commitment, and the long hours they put in to making our deliveries on time. Our drivers are always going the extra mile for our customers, our bakery-cafes and are truly best-in-class, top-performing professionals.

Thank you to each and every one of our Panera truck drivers for everything you do for us. Your continued high level of performance, dedication, and professionalism is a great credit to you, the Fresh Dough Facility network, and Panera Bread."

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to our new CFO, Paul Carbone! Paul joins Panera Bread with significant financial executive leadership experience of both public and private companies in the restaurant, consumer goods and retail industries.
