Panera Bread opened their Ballwin location on Thursday, November 18. This location is the first-of-its-kind and boasts an all-new design.

Panera Bread Company is an American chain store of bakery-café fast casual restaurants with over 2,000 locations. According to it's website, "Panera began in 1987 as St. Louis Bread Company, a humble community bakery founded with a sourdough starter from San Francisco and a dream of putting a loaf of bread in every arm. While our business has expanded well beyond St. Louis since then, that same sourdough starter is still used in our iconic sourdough bread and the craft of baking bread fresh each day remains at the heart of Panera Bread."
