Panera Bread going coastal BizJournals - Aug 19 10:15 PMPanera Bread franchisee Breadwinners at the Triangle has signed an agreement that will allow it to open five more stores - including locations along North Carolina's coast.
Don't have them in Oregon, but I'm sure they will be here soon. With so many wonderful PNW places, I wonder how they will do. At least their ingredients will be super-fresh!
Ours is close to a Sam's Club and I will often get some of the thinly shaved roast beef and provolone there then go over to Panera and get a French loaf to make sandwiches for the whole family. Very tasty.
My husband likes their broccoli and cheese soup. I make the copycat here at home in the winter sometimes.
It seems like when any place first opens and they get the rush of people wanting to try it, the new employees are still learning and it's a challenge for them to keep up with the demand.
I usually try to wait a little while till everyone picks up on the system. But we had them lined up out the door when ours opened to. I think ours has only been here a little over a year.
