Philly Bread Competitors

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.

Follow the Great Harvest company page to learn more about real food, real people and real business. We share stories about real bakery cafe owners, insights from 30+ years of teaching and supporting small businesses, plus tips about making healthy choices, especially with whole grains. Oh...and some great recipes to surprise your family and friends! Great Harvest was born out of a single (and amazingly delicious) whole grain bread recipe, developed by our founders to feed their friends and family. Over time, we’ve branched out to develop an array of products with a nod to our roots. Our healthy bakeries are locally-famous for their great-tasting, slow-made-from-scratch food that goes far beyond our 5-ingredient Honey Whole Wheat. Today, you may get hooked on our addictively good sandwiches, salads, grain bowls, biscuits or cookies before you even purchase your first loaf of whole grain bread! Still, we approach the creation of all our food with the same basic principles that were baked into our first loaf of bread. Each Great Harvest Bread Co. store is locally owned and operated. Owning a Great Harvest business is more than just a job -- it's a whole way of life and whole lot of fun. Each local franchise owner develops a unique product line to serve the needs and preferences of their customers. We are a Freedom Franchise where each owner has the freedom and flexibility to make their bakery cafe a one-of-a-kind neighborhood destination. To contact us, call 800-442-0424. Our mailing address is 28 S. Montana Street, Dillon, MT 59725.
