Panera is jumping on the 2016 bandwagon and winding back the clock to a simpler time – the launch of PokémonGo, the Mannequin Challenge and, in the restaurant chain's case, bread bowls.
In tandem with the ongoing nostalgia for 2016 on social media, Panera Bread Company has created a 2016 menu, featuring four items that were extra popular with customers a decade ago.
"These menu favorites defined that era for a reason, and featuring them in this limited-time meal felt like the perfect way to give guests a little comfort, fun and flavors that truly stand the test of time," Panera Chief Marketing Officer Mark Shambura said in a news release.
Launched on Jan. 16, the 2016 menu is only available in the Panera Bread mobile app. MyPanera reward members may get $5 off the meal on Monday, Jan. 19 only.
