ST. LOUIS – September 9, 2024 – At Panera, you don’t have to choose between a great deal and feeling good about what you eat. Just in time for fall, Panera is kicking off a limited-time deal on two fan-favorite menu items so guests can enjoy a satisfyingly delicious feel-good meal at a great value. Starting today, guests can use the code FALLDEAL to enjoy a whole-sized Chicken Bacon Rancher Sandwich or Fuji Apple Chicken Salad plus a free side for $7.99.*

Since its debut on the Panera menu this April, the Chicken Bacon Rancher Sandwich has become a top selling item. This instant guest favorite marries flavorful grilled chicken, applewood smoked bacon, aged white cheddar and ranch with Panera’s much loved black pepper focaccia. The Fuji Apple Chicken Salad is a classic Panera favorite, made with romaine and crisp mixed greens tossed in a sweet white balsamic vinaigrette, topped with grilled chicken, grape tomatoes, red onions, toasted pecan pieces, feta, and apple chips for that perfect crunch and hint of fall flavor.

“At Panera, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between high-quality food you feel good about and a great deal,” said Mark Shambura, Chief Marketing Officer, Panera Bread. “This fall, guests can savor the best of both worlds at their local bakery-cafe – delicious meals at exceptional value – whether they’re enjoying a classic salad or discovering a new Panera favorite.”

For those craving even more savings, Panera is currently offering their most valuable Unlimited Sip Club deal yet. New monthly subscribers who sign up through October 31 will get 3 free months of endless refreshing drinks!**

In April, Panera began its largest menu transformation ever, and throughout the year the brand has refocused on innovating and enhancing core Panera items while giving guests the right combination of taste, quality and value. Filled with new and enhanced offerings including bakery items, breakfast, sandwiches, salads and more, Panera’s New Era menu offers guests delicious meals and better value through enhanced portions and lower price points.

About Panera Bread

Our first bakery-cafe opened in 1987, founded with a secret sourdough starter and the belief that the best part of bread is sharing it. That vision led to the invention of the Fast Casual category with Panera at the forefront, serving as America’s kitchen table centered around our delicious menu of chef-curated recipes that are crafted with care by our team members. We make food that we are proud to serve our own families, from crave-worthy soups, salads and sandwiches to mac and cheese and sweets. Each recipe is filled with ingredients we feel good about and none of those we don’t because we are committed to serving our guests food that feels good in the moment and long after. While our company is now nearly 2,200 bakery-cafes strong, our values and belief in the lasting power of a great meal remain as strong as ever. We spend each day filling bellies, building empowered teams and inspiring communities. Nothing beats breaking bread together.

As of August 27, 2024, there were 2,172 bakery-cafes, company and franchise, in 48 states and Washington D.C., and in Ontario, Canada, operating under the Panera Bread® or Saint Louis Bread Co.® names. Panera Bread is part of Panera Brands, one of the largest fast casual restaurant companies in the U.S., comprised of Panera Bread®, Caribou Coffee® and Einstein Bros.® Bagels.
