PERK UP WHEN YOU WAKE UP: PANERA BREAD OFFERS GUESTS A CHANCE-TO-WIN UNLIMITED COFFEE FOR A YEAR* AND A BAGUETTE-CUT RING IN A BREAD BOWL BOX

 

From February 14-18, those in need of a pick-me-up can enter to win a baguette-cut lab grown diamond ring**

ST. LOUIS, February 8, 2022 – This year Valentine’s Day falls on the Monday after the Big Game and, while
both holidays seem quite unique to each other, there is one thing they have in common: rings. Panera
Bread (“Panera”) believes that diamonds (especially baguettes!) shouldn’t be for just Big Game winners
or Valentine’s Day engagements. They should perk you up every day just like Panera unlimited coffee...and
nothing goes better with Panera coffee quite like a baguette. For once, Panera doesn’t mean a BREAD
baguette – this baguette is a lab-grown DIAMOND showcased in none other than a Bread Bowl inspired
ring box. 

 

This year, Panera is offering guests a chance to win a rock of their own – shaped in a baguette cut and set
in a gold band. Starting on February 14, 2022, Panera fans will be able enter for a chance to score a
stunning addition to their jewelry collection alongside a year subscription to Panera’s Unlimited Sip Club.
What better way to perk up than with a fresh cup of Panera unlimited coffee in one hand and a baguette
(diamond!) on the other? 

 

Panera is no stranger to perking up its guests’ days. The brand’s Unlimited Sip Club perks up its members
every day with unlimited sips that include hot and iced coffee, as well as hot tea, but some days require
more than just one cup of coffee or two to perk up. Guests will have the opportunity to enter for a chance
to be one of 22 winners to score a year of free unlimited caffeine in addition to a gorgeous addition to
their jewelry collection -- a sparkling, baguette-cut ring complemented by glistening, smaller stones
packaged in a customized ring box inspired by Panera’s beloved Bread Bowl. 

 

"For those waking up feeling defeated, nothing perks you up better than unlimited coffee and a delicious
 baguette - and we're leveling that up this year,” said Drayton Martin, VP of Brand Building at Panera Bread
"This time of year can be filled with ups and downs and wins and losses - but Panera is always there to
help fill your cup. The beautiful baguette-cut ring is an ode to our artisanal bread, which paired with our
Unlimited Sip Club is sure to make our guests’ day shine a little brighter." 

 

Panera made it simple to enter for a chance to win - during the sweepstakes entry period, send a tweet
on the Twitter platform or create a post on the Instagram platform with the hashtags #PaneraDate and
#Sweepstakes along with a photograph of your Panera Date. A “Panera Date” is a photograph of you
enjoying your favorite Panera Bread cafe or Panera Bread At-Home products with yourself, a significant
other, friends or colleagues.

About Panera Bread 

30 years ago, at a time when quick service meant low quality, Panera set out to challenge this expectation. We believed that food that was good and that you could feel good about, served in a warm and welcoming environment by people who cared, could bring out the best in all of us. To us, that is food as it should be and that is why we exist. 

 

So, we began with a simple commitment: to bake bread fresh every day in our bakery-cafes. No short cuts, just bakers with simple ingredients and hot ovens. Each night, any unsold bread and baked goods were shared with neighbors in need. 

 

These traditions carry on today, as we have continued to find ways to be an ally for wellness to our guests. That means crafting a menu of soups, salads, and sandwiches that we are proud to feed our families. Like poultry and pork raised without antibiotics on our salads and sandwiches. A commitment to transparency and options that empower our guests to eat the way they want. Seasonal flavors and whole grains. And a commitment to Clean food, which is food that does not contain the artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors, and colors from artificial sources set forth on our No-No list in the food in our U.S. bakery-cafes. Why? Because we think that simpler is better and we believe in serving food as it should be. Because when you don’t have to compromise to eat well, all that is left is the joy of eating. 

 

We’re also focused on improving quality and convenience. With investments in technology and operations, we now offer new ways to enjoy your Panera favorites – like mobile ordering and Rapid Pick-Up® for to-go orders and delivery – all designed to make things easier for our guests. 

 

As of December 28, 2021, there were 2,118 bakery-cafes in 48 states 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.
