On October 22, 2013, Panera Bread Co. (Panera Bread) reported its financial results for Q3 FY 2013 (period ended September 24, 2013).

Panera Bread's CEO, Ron Shaich commented, "Panera generated the highest system wide year-to-date average weekly sales in its history. Indeed, average weekly sales at Panera through this quarter are up over 20% over the last 5 years. As well, new cafes in the class of 2013 generated sales volumes that are among the highest in our history. This speaks to the extraordinary affection customers have for Panera. However, it is also true that in the third quarter comparable store sales rose just 1.7%. While these comparable store sales continue to be above average for the industry, they are below our expectations."
