A Ceiling Pro Customer Profile: Panera Bread

When it comes to casual dining, few restaurants have cornered the market like Panera Bread. This St. Louis-based chain has become a haven for those who want the ease of a fast food restaurant and the quality they’ve come to expect from a sit-down eatery. From their anti-GMO policy to their still-warm-from-the-oven bread, customers are vocal about their love for Panera and don’t care who knows it.

The chain has over 2,150 locations in the United States and Canada. There are 33 Panera Bread stores in Minnesota, 28 of them in the Twin Cities Metro Area. In January 2017, the company achieved its goal: food without artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors or colors from artificial sources.

Panera offers a wide array of pastries and baked goods, such as croissants, bagels, cookies, scones, muffins and brownies. These, along with Panera's artisan breads, are typically baked before dawn by an on-staff baker. Aside from the bakery section, Panera has a regular menu for dine-in or takeout including: sandwiches, panini, pastas, soups, flatbreads, salads, side choices, Panera Kids, fruit smoothies, frozen drinks, iced drinks, coffee, tea, and lemonade, expresso, drinks, lattes, and hot chocolate.
