"Panera Bread has had an incredibly rich history beginning as Saint Louis Bread Company in 1987. Growing from one location in Kirkwood, Missouri, Panera Bread is now over 2,000 locations large, employes around 52,000 employees, with revenue close to 3 billion. What I find most impressive is that the company is so passionate about philanthropy and giving. Your 'Day-End Dough-Nation' program provides unsold bread and baked goods to local hunger relief charities, and Panera donates around 100 million worth of bread and baked goods every year. Panera also supports nonprofit organizations with restaurant gift certificates and fresh products. In 2017, Panera announced creating a food menu free of artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, and preservatives, which I believe was a landmark move in the industry, setting the company apart. I am quite well versed in the history of Panera and look forward to contributing to your brand story."
