Atlantic County, NJ, Why Does Panera Bread Ignore Us?

Panera Bread keeps opening cafes in New Jersey, but how come none of them are in Atlantic County?

I like Panera Bread okay. I'm definitely devoted to their Broccoli Cheddar Soup (in a bread bowl) more than any other and they make a really good Caesar salad.

But people I know who love Panera REALLY love it. Swear by it, even. My question is, will folks in Atlantic County ever get the chance to love Panera? It seems Panera Bread keeps ignoring the area.

I think I'd be speaking on behalf of Atlantic County when I say, 'COME ON, Panera!' Atlantic County, New Jersey is home to more than 275,000 people! And we're hungry! Lol. Don't ignore us!
