Last week there were a couple of stories you may have missed in the news. Nothing bad, just interesting if you eat out at Panera Bread (as we do), or if you happen to know who is seeking a missing Mermaid (that's not a typo). Stories below:
PANERA BREAD BOUGHT - An English company has bought a LOT of Franchises!
It
is only the latest effort to expand into restaurants by JAB, the
investment arm of the Reimann family of Germany, who are heirs to the
consumer goods company Joh. A. Benckiser. In 2014, JAB bought the bagel
chain Einstein Brothers, which it has been combining with Caribou is
some markets. And last year, it paid $1.35 billion for Krispy Kreme, the
struggling doughnut chain. In
Panera, JAB will acquire a popular fast casual chain that serves soups,
salads, sandwiches and baked goods at about 2,000 locations.
