Calling all ranch lovers: Panera may have the dream job

ST. LOUIS – A likely once-in-a-lifetime job is up for grabs after the release of a menu item that grew to be unexpectedly popular.

The company released a new line of menu items less than two weeks ago, calling it their ‘New Era at Panera.’ The foods included were aimed at encapsulating everything their customers love the most, including soups, salads, sandwiches, and mac & cheese.

One of the items took the country by storm: the Chicken Bacon Rancher.

It’s the first time the café-style restaurant added the item, and now they’re selling out at stores across the nation, according to officials.

To aid in the unprecedented demand, Panera has posted that they’re searching for the newest position within the company, known as the Ranch Hand.
