CANADA | Bakery chain, Panera Bread, has launched a new range of beverages in time for Summer.
Panera Bread has introduced four delicious new, cold beverages as part of its ongoing New Era menu transformation. Inspired by guest preferences for exciting, on-trend flavours, these refreshing drinks boast unique, delicious tastes that are perfect for warm summer days. With its reimagined beverage portfolio, Panera continues its mission of delivering what guests want most – amazing taste, quality ingredients and value.
In April, Panera began its largest menu transformation ever, as it refocused on innovating and enhancing the core Panera items guests love the most: Soups, Salads, Sandwiches and Mac & Cheese. Filled with more than 20 new and enhanced menu items, the brand's New Era offers guests better value through enhanced portions and lower price points. The launch of these new beverages is the next step in the brand's ongoing transformation process, focused on giving guests the right combination of taste, quality and value.
Panera's 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, serving as America's kitchen table centred 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 and 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," the company said in a statement.
"While our company is now nearly 2,200 bakery-cafes strong, our values and belief in the lasting power of a great meal remain as strong as ever. We spend each day filling bellies, building empowered teams and inspiring communities. Nothing beats breaking bread together."
