We in the greater Milwaukee, WI area planned an OC lunch get-together today (SAT22JAN) at a Panera where one of our members had eaten many times before (including last Sat.), while OCing, with no problem.
Upon arriving today, we were "greeted" by a sign on blaze orange paper saying that company policy is to prohibit anyone but on-duty police from "carrying or displaying" weapons on the premises.
We of course complied by not spending our money there, and are contacting the store & corporate to explain why their policy should be changed.
Here's the Panera "Contact Us" page: http://www.panerabread.com/about/contact/index2.php
I used "my experience at Panera Bread" as the topic.
Here's the corporate info:
3630 S Geyer Rd.
St. Louis, MO
63127
Tel: (314) 984-1000
Fax: (314) 909-3300
Here's the store info:

Brookfield, WI
53005
(262) 641-9999 - Phone

(But nothing is stopping you from calling & asking for his name yourself, & telling them you want to write him a letter about their new policy.)

Until Panera responds, my post is under the "just others" link.
Here's the original thread about the meet-n-eat.
