One Panera for a Healthier and Happier World

Good food served in warm, welcoming spaces

all of us. That’s been our belief since opening

our first cafe in St. Louis in 1987. While our

company has grown, our values, purpose and

locations across the U.S. and in Canada and

our system, we embrace the opportunity to

spread generosity to our communities, the

planet and you.
