How Panera Bread News Today

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration has denied a news report that he pushed for an exception to the state’s new fast-food minimum wage law that benefits a wealthy campaign donor.

The law offers an unusual exemption for chains that bake bread and sell it as a standalone item.

The chain promises a menu with more sandwiches, more salads and more meat. The 'new era' will coincide with a minimum wage hike that Panera avoided.
