Episode Details

Panera Bread is relocating its corporate HQ to Weston, Massachusetts, by July 2027 — a major shift in its three-year “Panera Rise” plan to revamp menus, boost value, and expand locations. CEO Paul Carbone, a Boston native with ties to Dunkin’ and SharkNinja, is leading the move, which also includes shifting many employees and remote workers east. The company’s also trimming costs by closing a Franklin bakery and laying off 100 workers, while still operating under Panera Brands, which includes Caribou Coffee and Einstein Bros. Bagels. This move joins a growing trend of big companies like Hasbro and LEGO relocating to Greater Boston — signaling the region’s rising status as a corporate hub.
