This new Panera merch is being launched by the brand as a celebratory clothing option that will enable consumers to commemorate their love for sourdough bread. The merch includes a sweatshirt in orange, green and tan color options each emblazoned with the phrase In My Sourdough Era as a cheeky nod to the brand's products, but also the colloquial usage of the term era in pop culture. The sweatshirt is available now for $13.87 for purchase online while supplies last.
The new Panera merch is launching alongside The Loaf Story Meal that's exclusively available through the Must Have Meals section on the brand's app. The meal puts three of the brand's most popular breads in the spotlight including the French Baguette, Sourdough Bread Bowl and the Country Rustic Sourdough Loaf.
