Why isn't there a Panera Bread in Debary or Orange City?

Question

I love Panera Brea, could eat there every day put the closest one is in Sanford which is about 15 minutes away, when will they ever build on here, they are building a new mall .. where's the Panera??

Answer 1

If I were you, I'd send an e-mail to the company and tell them.  The more input they get from a particular location, the more likely they are to build there.  And after all - what can it hurt to try?

Answer 2

15 minutes isn't bad at all to get to one. Depending on how busy your area is, there might not be need for another one so close by. You could always write to Panera Bread. If might be owned by a franchise, so you could always find out who owns the one in Sanford and see if they would be interested in opening up one that is closer to you.
