Founders Leroy and Forest Raffel founded the first Arby’s in 1964. Leroy and Forrest want a taste of something different. The first Arby’s was opened in Boardman, Ohio, and it served their famous hot, freshly sliced roast beef sandwiches.

They changed their classic ten gallon hat and replaced it with a sleeker hat but the classic ten gallon hat can still be found on their sign outside of their restaurants. In 1978 they added a new burger to their menu, the Cheddar roast beef sandwich. The Cheddar roast beef sandwich had roast beef, cheddar cheese sauce, zesty red onions, and a toasted onion roll.

Panera Bread’s mission statement is “a loaf of bread in every arm”. I find this to be very shallow, lacking direction for employees and meaning. For a company, as successful as Panera, I expected a more developed mission statement. It fails to address some of the key criteria that belongs in effective mission statements. For example, it doesn’t guide employee behavior, address the customers experience and doesn’t tell the employees how the company wants to operate and what type of company it is. Back when its main focus was just on bread this mission statement might have been suitable but now I believe it should show their growth and expansion over the years.

(Aetna Inc., 2014, p.65) Even with this chosen strategy, company’s still need to be competitive on cost.
