Our first bakery-cafe opened in 1987, founded with a secret sourdough starter and the belief that the best part of bread is sharing it. That vision led to the invention of the Fast Casual category with Panera at the forefront, centered around our delicious menu of chef-curated recipes that are crafted with care by our team members. We make food that we are proud to serve our own families, from crave-worthy soups, salads and sandwiches to mac & cheese and sweets. Each recipe is filled with ingredients we feel good about and none of those we don't because we are committed to serving our guests food that feels good in the moment and long after. While our company is now more than 2,200 bakery-cafes strong, our values and belief in the lasting power of a great meal remain as strong as ever. Nothing beats breaking bread together. We believe in serving delicious, freshly prepared food made with carefully selected ingredients that we are proud to serve our own families. Our menu, crafted by chefs and bakers, features classic, comforting dishes, each with an intriguing twist. We’re also focused on improving quality and convenience. With investments in technology and operations, we offer omni-channel access to your Panera favorites – like mobile ordering, catering, and Rapid Pick-Up® for to-go orders, Curbside pick-up and delivery – all designed to make things easier for our guests. Today, Panera operates as both Panera Bread® or Saint Louis Bread Co St. Louis Bread Company in 48 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. To find a location in your area, click here. Panera Bread is privately held by JAB Holding Company. Panera Bread is part of Panera Brands, one of the largest fast casual restaurant platforms in the U.S., comprised of Panera Bread®, Caribou Coffee® and Einstein Bros.® Bagels.

About Tropical Smoothie Cafe® Born on a beach in 1997, Tropical Smoothie Cafe® is a national fast-casual restaurant brand built on a simple promise: better-for-you food and smoothies that taste as good as they make you feel. We believe eating well should be easy, enjoyable and brightening, which is why we make it simple to Eat Some Good™ with made-to-order smoothies, bowls and food. Since opening our first cafe, we've grown into a brand fueled by craveable menu offerings, feel-good vibes and genuine connections with the communities we serve. Whether you're grabbing a smoothie on the go, enjoying lunch with friends or fueling your next adventure, we're here to bring a little sunshine to your day. Giving back has been part of who we are from the beginning. In 2007, we celebrated our 10-year anniversary by creating National Flip Flop Day®, a one-of-a-kind holiday that turns sunshine into support for kids facing hunger. Each year, we partner with Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry® campaign to help raise funds, and guests who visit participating cafes wearing flip flops can enjoy a free smoothie during the event. It's one of the many ways we strive to make a positive impact in the communities we serve. Today, Tropical Smoothie Cafe has grown to nearly 1,800 locations across 44 states. Headquartered in Atlanta, the brand continues to earn recognition for its performance and guest experience, including ranking No. 1 in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 Smoothie/Juice Category for six consecutive years, being named one of USA TODAY's 10 Best Restaurants for Quick, Healthy Food and earning a place on Technomic's Top 500 list of leading restaurant chains. As we continue to grow, we're committed to delivering great experiences for guests, meaningful opportunities for franchisees and team members, and a positive impact in the neighborhoods we call home.
