Flynn Panera
Flynn Group entered the Panera system in 2015 with the acquisition of 47 cafes. Since then, we have more than tripled in size to become the 2nd largest Panera franchisee in the world and continue to grow by building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators.
Flynn Panera is a franchisee of Panera Bread. The organization uses a decentralized business model, with each geographic area led by a Market Leader. Reporting to the Market Leader are Area Directors, who are responsible for the overall functions of the cafes in their areas. Area Directors report to the Global Operations Group.
