Panera is definitely one of favorite places to work when I want to get away from the confines of my condo. Corey Hajim of Fortune Magazine sat down with Panera's CEO, Ron Shaich, to found out why Panera's stock continues to climb. Besides creating a comfortable and friendly atmosphere for "traveling" business people to work, Corey also notes that Panera has good listening skills. Not to mention their free wifi, which is definitely a plus!
Well, it appears that Panera is doing a few things right. The company's stock has more than doubled in the last four years. My experiences have always been positive and I would certainly recommend their Crispanis to any pizza lover.
By the way, Tom Vander Well of QAQnA tells us who you might meet at Panera in Des Moines...
We'd love to add you to the list, Maria! Maybe it's time to leave the perfect weather of San Diego for a few days and taste a little midwest hospitality! You have a standing invitation! :)
