“Our franchise could not be more excited to acquire these North Carolina markets where we see such amazing growth potential for the Panera Bread concept,” said Sam Covelli, owner and operator of Covelli Enterprises. “Our company is committed to bringing the loyal customers in this region the best food, served by the friendliest employees, in the cleanest restaurants possible, all while giving back to the local communities in any way we can.”
Covelli Enterprises, which has locations in six states, also scored a national shout-out when they won Panera’s “Franchisee of the Year” award in March. The award was presented in Nashville, Tennessee at Panera Bread’s “Family Reunion.”
