Atlanta Bread Company is a bakery/café that was originally established in 1993 from an Atlanta suburb of Sandy Springs, Georgia. In 1995, the company began franchising and expanding across the country. As of late 2003, over 160 locations in 24 states have opened up. The restaurant serves fresh bread, desserts, salads, and a variety of sandwiches and soups.
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. These charities include but are not limited to; churches, soup kitchens, rehab centers, homeless shelters, etc.
[edit] Catering
Atlanta Bread Company also has a catering service that caters to many businesses, medical buildings, and private residences. The catering menu is very similar to the in store menu.
