RICHMOND HEIGHTS, Mo., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- The St. Louis Business Journal reports today that Panera Bread is considering moving its St. Louis based offices to Boston to accommodate the company's growth. That reference is inaccurate -- Panera Bread is not considering the option of consolidating its St. Louis offices with its Boston-area office. The company is searching for space in the St. Louis area to combine its current office locations in Richmond Heights and Brentwood into one location. Panera Bread plans to continue its 20-year presence in St. Louis and looks forward to growing both its St. Louis and Boston-area offices as they continue to expand.
Panera Bread serves fresh baked, handcrafted artisan breads, sweet and savory baked goods, hand-tossed salads, wholesome soups, and signature sandwiches in a distinctly warm and welcoming environment. Panera Bread is committed to using great tasting, quality ingredients in the food we offer and contributing to the neighborhoods in which our customers and employees live and work through programs like Operation Dough-Nation(R). Headquartered in Richmond Heights, MO, Panera Bread owns and franchises 1,115 bakery-cafes under the Panera Bread(R) and Saint Louis Bread Co.(R) names as of September 25, 2007.
