Panera Bread Corporate Office & Headquarters

You mean I don't have to pay for epxret advice like this anymore?!

I was so disappointed to find out that you were not offering gingerbread bagels this holiday season. Both my husband and I have enjoyed them for the past few years and go to our local Panera twice a week for gingerbread bagels for breakfast during the holiday season. We have not been this season. Please bring the gingerbread bagel back next year.

I was disappointed to find out that the gingerbread bagels were not available this year. I always looked forward to buying them for myself and friends. Could you please e-mail me back and explain the reason for not making them this year. My e-mail is marzihart@yahoo.com. Thank you for your time.

I WAS AMAZED WITH MYPANERA LUNCH - FOOD GOOD PRICE IS RIGHT - BUT HOW DARE YOU - IM WANT A LUNCH CARD AND I HAVE SPENT ONE (1) HOUR TRYING TO GET IT - ALL THOSE FREE OFFERS BY THE WAY IS NOT FREE - WITH NO MEAN TO AN END I COULD NOT GET BACK TO ANYTHING - I GUEST MY LUNCH CARD IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT - WELL MYPANERA YOU WILL NOT SEE ME AGAIN THANKS FOR A MINUTE OF PLEASURE AND AN HOUR I WILL NEVER GET BACK.

On Friday December 2 I went to the Panera Bread located in Piscataway, NJ to get breakfast before 9 am. I ended up not making a purchase at all because I had gotten fed up with the way I've seen the manager (Aliiya) behave. This time it was toward two customers. Other times it had been toward employees or what I had overheard employees saying about her management skills and the manner in which she treats them. Two guys had apparently ordered their lunch and they were speaking to a tall bald African-American man, I didn't see a name tag. The two guys had a complaint of some sort with their meal. The tall guy went to get the manager, he came back with Aliiya. As they approached the customers they were laughing and joking about the complaint the two men had about their meal. It was clear to anyone with eyes and ears what they were doing. I couldn't believe they had chosen to do this right in front of the customer, other employees, and other customers who could also see and hear this!!! I had heard the one guy say he was going to complain to corporate so I am not sure what he did. I do know that there is a certain level of professionalism that should be displayed by a business' management. I have yet to see this with Aliiya. She never smiles and treats the employees and customers as if they are valued. She doesn't seem to understand the customers are the reason Panera is in business. What she did was RUDE, MEAN, and VERY disrespectful!!! She needs to undergo some sort of management retraining course or given sensitivity training or worse. Her attitude is horrible!!! Panera charges premium prices so it's important that the environment reflect that in their caliber of management. The manager has a great deal of hair but I yet to see her wear a hair net, visor, or hat. I would think that would be considered unsanitary since she's all over the store and there is food in various stages of preparation. I've opted not to purchase anything else from there.

This has been going on a month...my carryout order was missing a sandwich. I called as soon as I got home and my name was taken and they said a coupon would be sent but I knew it was not be taken seriously. After a week I stopped in to check about the coupon and was told it was in the mail. ANother week passes and I called and ask to speak to the manager she assured me that the matter would be take care of. Guess what? It has been another week and nothing . Here's the thing, I love to eat there and everything is so good I don't mind paying a little more for such tasty and nutritious food but I will not be treated badly and will not go in there again until I feel better about the whole situation. I take my husband to therapy three times a week and go right past there and would love to stop and pick up lunch at least once a week. The store is in Shelby Michigan, do not get a carry out order or check it to make sure all your paid for items are in the bag.

I love St. Louis Bread (Panera) Company. I love that their menu is geared towards healthy ingredients and friendly relaxed staff and atmosphere. And I love the way management is so interested in keeping their customers happy. And the decor is so cute too. Love the Cobblestone muffins especially!! Thanks and keep up the good work. I just read the negative emails on this website and maybe people need to stop looking for the negative in everything. If you don't like it, then go somewhere else! Thanks and Bon Appetite!!

i am writing this email not because I do not love your food which I do. I live in Pittsburgh Pa and have visited several restaurants. I frequent the one in Wilkins Township William Penn Highway Pittsburgh Pa 15235 and the one in Monroeville in the Miracle Mile Shopping Center which is also on William Penn Highway Monroeville Pa 15146. It is very disheartening to see that there are no African Americans working at this location nor at the location on MCknight Road in the North Hills. My children have completed several applications at the restaurant which is 2 miles away from my home and they have not got as much as eye contact when turning in the application. I hope that it is not your practice not to hire African Americans or other minorities. However this is what I have come across in the past several years. There is a large sign as you enter the restaurant stating "Now Hiring". If this restaurant is always hiring I would like to know why my children even been called for an interview. They are age appropriate, have good grades and like I stated previously live within two miles of the restaurant where they have applied. I hope that I do not have to stop enjoying my favorite Cinnamon Crunch Bagel. I don't want to spend my money none of the employees are minorities. What kind of message is this sending to customers.

My son went to get a job at Panera Bread at the Town Center Mall in Charleston, WV and they turned him down because he had a tattoo on his arm with his daughters name on it. The manager had tattoo's on her body but she told my son they would fire her for hiring him with a tattoo on his arm. Double standard policy if you ask me. How discrimenatory of a company is that.

I will being in stating that I probably have lunch at Panera Bread Company, Delray Beach and Boynton Beach, Florida, on an average of 4-5 days per week....I love your soup! This includes my mother, sisters, daughter and co-workers. I am, however, very disappointed that you no longer offer the Lemon Chicken Orzo soup. I realize that it is "seasonal", but it is delicious, and one of the healthiest soups that you offered. I sincerely wish that you would reconsider adding this soup to your menu again. Sincerely, Nancy Merritt

People in store very nice & helpful,but your annoying survey is locking up my phone demanding a receipt # that is in the garbage in NY. I'm in PA now,& it's not helping how I feel about Panera right now. I would have taken your survey,but you provided no way to do that without entering a number! Don't bully your customers by tying up their search function, until you get a survey response please! I need my phone now,so how do I get Panera's survey off my search page?

I had lunch this past Sunday at the Hempstead turnpike location near EastMeadow. I was not happy with the fact that my husband ordered a sandwich and my 4 yr old took a bite and their was a foreign object piece of plastic in the sandwich. She almost choked and we thought her tooth fell out. I approached the mgr and he took the object and said will send to corporate. He did not even apologize until I asked for an apology. He then said will give me refund for sandwich. he later dissapeared and I did not see him. This is not the way this incident should have been handled. unhappy customer.

Store # 3859 in Manchester CT No problems with the food and drink. We were trapped into using this store for breakfast because of our hotel location several days in a row. We were ordered about from line to line like cattle as if were stupid for not figuring it out. There was no signage gIving instructions regarding this. On one visit a cashier named Tiffany opened a register further down the line. We walked over, but Tiffany insisted on calling to the couple who had just preceded us although they were obviously unready, and it took her several tries to even get their attention. Then she sent us back to our original line like bad children. Even at the pickup counter we had orders barked at us like we were working for them. I wouldn't have posted this, but we were there more than once and experienced this treatment.

Your restaurant at Hwy 6 and SW Freeway in Sugarland Texas is horrible and the bathrooms are always filthy. I swear if I go in there one more time and the restrooms are that nasty. I am going to contact the department of health and food safety. Maybe then you guys will understand that no one likes to eat in a restaurant where the bathrooms are filthy.

My son was recently fired from his job at Panera Bread (NJ). He spent the past four years preparing to become a US Marine. He is in the delayed enlistment program for the US Marines and has a responsibility to take part in a Poole function three times a week. These poole functions prepare him for his future as a US Marine. His responsibility to participate in the Poole functions was explained to the manager upon him being hired. The manager scheduled him to work on a day of his Poole function and my son explained to him the importance of him attending his Poole function and if his schedule could be changed for that day. My sons recruiter also contacted the manager to explain the situation. The manager was extremely rude to both my son and my sons recruiter. The manager then contacted my son and told him he needed to choose between Panera Bread or his future as a US Marine. The manager then called my son several hour later and left him a message to return his call. My son returned the call a half hour later and was told the manager had left. The assistant manager then got on the phone and told my son as of now he no longer has a job and if he has a problem with that he can call and fight it out with the manager tommorrow. I find it extremely unfair to my son that he fired because he is trying to prepare his self for his future. A future to serve and protect our country. What kind of American patrisim is that!

Dear Panera, I live in Ft. Myers, Fl. and patronize the store on Boy Scout and Rt. 41. It is a little distance for me to drive and I was wondering when and if you still have plans to open a store in the shopping center on Summerlin near Bass Road. I know a lot of other people in this area that would be very happy if you would open a store in that location. Thank you, R. Blake

i hate this company will never go back again i even contacted bbb saw mice running around and the bathrooms were disgusting plus the service was slow and horrible contacting my attorney this week will never go back again taking them to court for a 20 dollar refund that the manager promise me never again will i go there again

My husband and I went to Panera Bread in Valrico,Fl at 8 a.m. on 8/21.I went next door to order Starbucks coffee and he ordered bagels at Panera. My husband is deaf in one ear and ordering is not easy for him. I came back with the Starbucks coffee and an employee approached me and asked me if I had taken the Starbucks cups out of the trash and if I was stealing Panera coffee. I explained I was not, so I went to the general manager to complain and he was so said "doesn't Starbucks have sugar, why are you using ours?" I explained that we are a family of five and we eat at Panera up to ten times a week. He never said he was sorry for what the employee said to me. I find the manager to be very rude and unprofessional. It is one thing for a young sales clerk to say the wrong thing but a manager who is rude to customers it is unacceptable. I will be finding another place to eat that doesn't discriminate against people who are hearing impaired. I hope the corporate office retrains their general manager to be civil to all customers. I was very polite the whole time.

Let me start off by saying that my whole work staff orders at Warrington, PA Panera atleast 4 to 5 days a week for multiple meals, every single time we order there is something wrong with our meal. There was a plastic glove in my salad, they forget the dressings, no chicken on a sandwich, i can go on and on. There is never an order that is correct and I would like to know how this problem can be fixed? We love Panera, but our local Panera has got to be fixed. We are at the point where we do not even want to order from there any longer because of the mistakes. We are within walking distance and its such a shame that we can not continue to eat at our local Panera Bread. I would LOVE to hear back from someone on this issue.

KUDOS!!!!!! You've finally fired the dishonest,devious,and disrespectful G.M.ever GOD DON'T LIKE UGLY.M.D.destroyed so many careers and lives and while many complained she was able to remain in charge.I'll bet it was the black husband that did it for you huh
