There are several top notch Panera Bread locations in the United States, however, Canada seems to be lacking in this area. 

In Oakville, Ontario, there claims to be a Panera Bread at 2530 Winston Park drive, yet when my mother and I were craving the classic Panera Bread Mac n Cheese, the franchise was nowhere to be found. We tried using Google Maps as well as Waze navigation to guide us to our destination, but nothing was working. We searched the area for over an hour just to find nothing.

We called the restaurant to ask for directions, to which a young worker answered and couldn’t even give us the address of the restaurant she worked at. She must’ve been around 14 years old, and had seemingly no coworkers around to help her give us our answers.

There are no other Panera Bread locations even somewhat close to Burlington, Ontario. This is a problem. 

You may be wondering “Why should I care about putting a Panera Bread in Burlington?” I’ll tell you why: putting a Panera Bread in Burlington simply has more positives than negatives! 

Positives: it will feed Burlington’s diverse population a variety of comfort foods, ultimately acting as a mood booster for the entire city.

Negatives: there are none.
