i bet they'll move to the Meridian.

I'm a bit surprised they are only looking for 80,000 sq ft. with ~350 employees. Is that fairly typical for a business of that size? It would seem like they would need slightly more space.

A sign outside Panera Bread Co.’s Richmond Heights headquarters says the building’s 59,000 square feet of space is available for lease, but Panera is keeping quiet about its headquarters relocation plans.
The fast-casual restaurant chain began its office search efforts in 2007 but put its decision on hold in the face of a sagging economy. Panera was in talks with Duke Realty at the end of the year to finalize a lease for more than 70,000 square feet of space at Duke’s Laumeier Office Park at Watson and Geyer roads in Sunset Hills. Panera spokeswoman Lynn Parrish said in November that a decision was imminent.
The company is not commenting on the Sunset Hills deal.
CresaPartners Principal Steve Schmid and Vice President Doug Bock are representing Panera in the search.
Panera leased 33,000 square feet of space at its current headquarters at 6710 Clayton Road in Richmond Heights in 2000. When it outgrew that space, Panera began leasing space at 1600 S. Brentwood in Brentwood and has expanded twice in that building since February 2005. It now leases 26,000 square feet of space there. The Richmond Heights and Brentwood leases expire this year.

My sister works at Panera corporate and told me months ago they'd be moving to Sunset Hills--I kinda thought it was public knowledge.

"Probably at the old AB Sunset Hills Office just off of the 270 and 44?"
I think so.

Will they be changing their name to Sunset Hills Bread Company? I doubt it since they were in Brentwood/RH before. Wish Panera was a St. Louis company, right downtown.

^ I think cities should be able to copyright their names. Want to be St. Louis Realty? St. Louis Bread Co.? St. Louis Closet Co.? Then pay up, and oh, it's 10x whatever the rate if the business isn't actually located in St. Louis. Hey, the same could be true in reverse. If I open a "Clayton Crepes" east of Skinker I would pay!

Well for one it's Panera bread just about everywhere but here. And it is located in St. Louis County.
Say it ain't so!

Could have at least changed it to: "Panera, the artist formerly known as St. Louis Bread Company"
I read in the BJ today that City/County locations will retain the St. Louis name. Anything outside of "St. Louis" will get the Panera branding.

Which does not make sense, given the reasoning they stated for the change in the first place. How many metro-east/St. Charles/Jefferson county locations had the STLBC moniker?sc4mayor wrote: ↑Sep 08, 2022I read in the BJ today that City/County locations will retain the St. Louis name.
