"Panera Bread's Menu Overhaul: Cheaper Sandwiches, No More Dinner Service"
Panera Bread is set to launch its "largest menu transformation ever," adding nine new menu items and enhancing 12 existing classics, with a focus on budget-friendly options under $10 and a shift away from dinner offerings. The company's menu revamp comes as it prepares to go public again and includes keeping its controversial Charged Lemonade despite lawsuits alleging its high caffeine content caused fatal heart attacks. Additionally, Panera franchise owners in California, including those owned by billionaire CEO Greg Flynn, have been exempted from the state's new $20-an-hour minimum wage law.
