unsold bakery items to approximately 250 local hunger relief organizations. In 2017, over $8.5 million worth of unsold product was donated back to the local community. In addition to giving back locally, Panera Bread’s mission is to be an ally for wellness to the 10 million guests we serve across the country every each
and every week. That entails crafting a menu of soups, salads and sandwiches that we can be proud to feed our families. Like poultry and pork raised without antibiotics on salads and sandwiches. A commitment to transparency and options that empower our guests to eat the way they want. Seasonal flavors and whole grains. Plus, a commitment to remove artificial additives (flavors, sweeteners, preservatives and colors from artificial
sources) from food in our bakery-cafes. Why? It’s because we think that simpler is better and we believe in serving food as it should be. Because you don’t have to compromise to eat well, all that is left is the joy of eating. As of October 2018, there are 2,287 bakery cafes in the U.S. and Canada, operating under the Panera Bread and Saint Louis Bread Co. Of the total, 48 of those cafes operate as Saint Louis Bread Co. locations here in the St. Louis metropolitan area.
