Panera Bread (or St. Louis Bread Co., as it's known in its home town) prides itself on serving delicious, nutritious meals. But with each salad, sandwich and bowl of soup comes a little slice of this Clayton bakery-cafe's pride and joy: bread. Baked fresh every single morning, Panera's sourdough bread bowls, croissants, baguettes and bagels are the reason this homegrown bread company made it big.
