History
In the Spring of 1978, businessman Louis Kane was strolling through Boston’s historic Faneuil Hall Marketplace when he came across a display showcasing a new line of French bakery ovens. The aroma and quality of the fresh breads was enchanting. So enchanting in fact, it gave Louis an idea. Why not make wonderful, fresh baked breads and croissants easily available to everyone in the city? From this chance encounter came the first ever Au Bon Pain. And today, there are over 250 Au Bon Pain café's throughout the world, including Kuwait, Japan, Thailand, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Twenty-seven years later, a brand new Au Bon Pain was born. In July of 2005, a number of veteran employees completed a management buyout for 75% ownership of the entire Au Bon Pain Corporation. And with it came a bold new direction and a thrilling new future for our company. A Beyond The Ordinary future.
