Panera Bread has implemented a nationwide overhaul of its loyalty program, rebranded as MyPanera 2.0. The new system moves away from a “surprise-and-delight” model toward a structured, points-based architecture where customers earn 10 points for every $1 spent. Rewards are tiered, ranging from bakery items at 250 points to full entrées at 2,000 points.

The rollout included a marketing campaign titled ‘Refreshingly Loyal’ featuring Keke Palmer and a limited-time app-exclusive beverage. Existing members are being automatically enrolled in the new structure.

This loyalty update is part of the company’s broader “RISE” turnaround strategy under CEO Paul Carbone, which aims to improve customer service, menu offerings, and unit growth. As part of this organizational restructuring, the company is also relocating its headquarters from St. Louis to the Boston area.
