February 25, 2010 by
A Panera Bread restuarant in Glendale, Colo., features the company's first drive-thru location in the state.
According to a story in theDenver Business Journal, the restaurant is located in the ground-floor retail space of the renovated Hilton Garden Inn and is owned by Breads of the World LLC, which operates all 27 Colorado Panera Bread locations. From the story:
"We look forward to becoming a part of the Glendale community, and we believe the Glendale bakery-cafe is the perfect location to launch our first drive-thru in Colorado because of the high traffic volume in the area," said Craig Flom, regional operating partner of Colorado Panera Bread bakery-cafes, in a statement. "We feel strongly about being a responsible corporate citizen and plan to support Glendale community events, fundraisers and other charitable efforts on an ongoing basis."
