The motto "The sun never rises twice on our bread" means that the bread is never more than a day old. Leftover breads and bakery items are usually donated to local charities.
However, some franchise locations... such as that in Overland Park, KS. use their breads day after day. They even re-use cookies and other bakery items. So much for company slogans.
AtlantaBread's restaurants are served by a central commissary in Smyrna, Georgia.
AtlantaBread was founded by two St. Louis natives, brothers Bob and Rick Auffenburg, but the chain owed its existence entirely to another pair of brothers, Jerry and Basil Couvaras.
By the end of 1998, AtlantaBread Co. was a 47-unit chain, with restaurants stretching from Florida to New York and from Georgia to Texas.
