“We had some of the platters, desserts and ice cream. All were delicious!! It was a touch of Lancaster Pa without the drive.“

“Being a mom with a young child out shopping by yourself can be a stressful experience. Today, I was finished shopping and I was out by my car. My baby was screaming in her car seat sitting in the shopping cart while I was trying to load my groceries. A young man who was pushing carts came up to me and said, “You worry about the baby and get her in the car, I’ll load your groceries for you.” I tried to glance at his name tag, I think his name was Quan. This worker stopped without skipping a beat to help someone he didn’t know and tried making their day a little bit easier. Sam’s Club, you have an A+ employee and he deserves a raise!“

“My wife and I were enjoying our “quick lunch out” as we rapped up our shopping trip to Salisbury. We were reminiscing about our first exposure to Panera Bread. We were visiting St Louis many years ago—maybe 30 or more—when my oldest son and his family took us to a neat new restaurant, the St Louis Bread Company. Wow what a nice place I thought. Not too long afterwards—I don’t recall where or when—we walked into our first Panera Bread restaurant. I instantly recognized the similarity with the St Louis Bread Company from yesteryear, and I knew I was hooked for good. As we sat there enjoying our “Pick Two,” I could not help but reminisce how far the St Louis Bread Company / Panera Bread chain has come over the last 30 to 35 years. Its still our go-to stop when we’re out shopping or on the road.“
