Panera Bread at 1211 Half Day Road, Bannockburn invites customers to enjoy a free cup of coffee on its 2nd anniversary
Bannockburn, Ill. (RestaurantNewsRelease.com) On Thursday, July 29, 2010, Panera Bread at 1211 Half Day Road, Bannockburn (corner of Route 22 & Route 43) is inviting customers to celebrate the bakery-café’s second anniversary by sharing free cups of coffees.
To Share the Warmth with the local community, Panera Bread will also be inviting customers to donate a dollar on July 29 to help support its Operation Dough-Nation Community BreadboxTM program to Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois.
“We are very proud of what we have achieved at Bannockburn,” said John Addelia, Vice President of Operations of Chicago Bread, LLC a franchisee of Panera Bread. “We’re looking forward to celebrating more anniversaries with our customers and joining them in supporting our local communities.”
The coffee is in good company with Panera’s breakfast offerings including three grilled breakfast sandwiches, which took Panera’s expert bakers over a year to perfect. True to Panera’s tradition, the company’s team of culinary experts chose only exceptional quality ingredients — thin-crusted, moist Ciabatta baked fresh every day in each bakery-cafe; all-natural, pasteurized, freshly-cracked eggs; Vermont white cheddar cheese; and Applewood-smoked bacon or all-natural sausage. The made-to-order sandwich is a delicious culinary combination that can easily be taken on-the-go or savored over a leisurely breakfast in the bakery-cafe.
