Panera is turning one of its first Chicago stores over to the community. The store is converting to a pay-what-you-can model with only suggested prices and donation boxes. This is the St. Louis-based company's fourth "Panera Cares Community Cafe" and its first in Chicago. In an interview, founder and co-CEO Ron Shaich said the Lakeview-area location has particular significance for him because he wrote the company's mission statement there.
