If you step into a
Panera in southern California in the next few years,
there's a decent chance that the franchise might be owned by NFL star Keyshawn Johnson.
Panera recently
announced the plan for the development of 12 new
franchise locations in a partnership with Johnson's First Picks Bread Company, LLC.
Currently a wide
receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, Johnson has owned restaurants in Beverly Hills and Tampa in addition to a chain of
Coldstone Creamery locations in Dallas.
