The company's had Boston-based leadership ever since Au Bon Pain bought STL Bread Company in 1993. So, it's not like we're losing the C-Suite leadership as much as the postal address for the corporate HQ. Still sucks, but honestly somewhat negligible. The company's been in turnaround for over a decade.

I just wonder what will be left here in StL going forward. Seems like the typical operational jobs, IT, legal, HR, etc. will be lost here. It’ sucks no matter how we spin it. If anything, the doom & gloom, “they moved due to crime” crowd have more ammo & idiots buy into that narrative.

I thought they had moved to Boston years ago.

^They did. When Au Bon Pain bought them, as GC said above. But they moved back when the parent company spun Au Bon Pain off to concentrate on the rebranded St. Louis chain.
