St. Louis, MO, July 28, 2026 —
Panera Brands is set to relocate its corporate headquarters from St. Louis County, Missouri, to Weston, Massachusetts. The move is scheduled to be completed by July 2027.
While the company intends to maintain a support center in St. Louis, a significant portion of its workforce will be affected by the relocation. Employees will be offered the opportunity to move to the new Boston-area headquarters.
Panera Brands has deep roots in St. Louis. The company originated as St. Louis Bread Co. in Kirkwood, Missouri, in 1987. The decision to move the headquarters marks a new chapter for the organization, shifting its primary base of operations to Massachusetts.
Further details regarding the impact on the St. Louis support center and the number of employees expected to relocate were not immediately available. The timeline indicates a phased transition leading up to the July 2027 completion date.
