Now if we can just get Sign of the Tree reopened.

Here’s the release:

    Just what poor State workers need…a frou-frou bakery. But the bakery will survive; they have a captive audience.

  2. meierrain says:

    Anything that’s not Sodexho is a welcome change in my book.

  3. Rex says:

    Panera Bread? Ha! Wishful thinking

  4. colonie Dude says:

    Au Bon Pain == Panera Bread. Same company, same nasty coffee.

  5. Taxes says:

    Panera is actually owned by Au Bon Pain… ABP is targeted more at urban and institutional settings. Panera (originally St. Louis Bread) is the suburban/sandalone equivalent.

  6. elmer says:

    Panera is actually not owned by ABP. Sprang from common ownership but have had different owners for over a decade.

    Thanks for playing.

    We don’t need bread, we could really use a drugstore, though!
