Paradise Bakery & Café

Paradise Bakery & Café is a Scottsdale, Arizona-based chain of bakery–café quick casual restaurants predominantly located in the western and southwestern United States. It was independently established in 1976; as of 2009, it is wholly owned by Panera Bread. As of early 2012, it operates 60 stores in 9 states.[1]

History

The chain was established in Long Beach, California, in 1976. At the time it exclusively sold cookies and muffins, later expanding to its current product portfolio. In 2007, a majority stake in the chain was purchased by Panera, which later bought out the remainder of the company in 2009. Mark and Daniel Patterson still own and operate one paradise bakery in Aspen, Colorado. [2]
