Bremerhaven. (bm) Panera Bread 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, 140’000 associates and annual system-wide sales in the billions. Since 2017 privately held by Luxembourg’s JAB Holding Company, Panera is poised to continue innovating. Panera takes its fresh ideas about eating and living well to more people in more places. Panera At Home products can be found at select grocery stores nationwide and the company is expanding into new territories with new formats. Looking at the expertise and professional knowledge that the company gathers in its Senior Leadership Team, it is hard to believe that in the long term this ambition should be limited only to the North American continent.
