Exciting news to share! Yesterday we opened a new Panera Bread at Charlotte-Douglass International Airport! This is our second Panera Bread now operating at this airport, a testament to the great work the team has done since the first Panera Bread in Charlotte opened in 2018.

A very special Thank You and Congratulations to Kori Tellier & Chuck Allen, who will continue leading the teams at the two Panera Bread location at CLT, and all those involved in helping us get to this point. A special Kind Kudos to Ana Spadafora, VP of Airport Operations, and the Training team who traveled from our Dallas Fort Worth, Mesa Gateway and Sky Harbor locations to assist and support the CLT team.

Opening a new restaurant is a huge undertaking and I am grateful for the commitment and the efforts of our entire team.
