Along comes Ron Shaich, founder and co-CEO of Pan­era Bread, and most recently the cre­ator of Pan­era Cares cafés. Pan­era Bread is among the most valu­able pub­licly traded restau­rant com­pa­nies, with more than 1,600 restau­rants and a mar­ket cap­i­tal­iza­tion of more than $5 bil­lion. Pan­era Cares looks and feels a lot like Dr. V’s Indian eye care hos­pi­tals, adding an inno­v­a­tive new twist to the idea of cor­po­rate social responsibility.
