Utah is such an incredible place to live. People from all over the country are flocking to Utah for the beautiful landscapes, amazing economy, great weather, and lack of government interference. Utah is also a FOODIE'S DREAM! We have some amazing food here in Utah. Especially in Southern Utah, there has been new restaurants opening right and left. But there's one restaurant that has been rumored to be coming that has been named the LEAST TRUSTED restaurant chain in the United States.

Panera Bread named among 'Least Trusted' Restaurant Chains in America.

20% of Americans surveyed said that Panera Bread is their least trusted restaurant brand.

But will Panera Bread be coming to Southern Utah? Sources say yes! What about Panera Bread is not trustworthy? I've never eaten at Panera Bread before. It sounds fresh and clean. Is it not?

I asked people to rank Panera Bread on a scale of 1-10 on what their thoughts were on Panera Bread. Many people said they loved Panera, while many others said they weren't impressed! I've never had Panera Bread before, but I ABSOLUTELY will be trying it!

Also making the list are two restaurant chains that have been in Utah and Southern Utah for years.

St. George used to have two sonic locations, we've been whittled down to one, and Cedar City's Sonic is no-more. Back in the day the Sonic employees would be on roller-skates, and they'd deliver your food to you while trying not to break their leg on skates. It was truly a time to be alive.

Chipotle:

I've tried Chipotle only once YEARS AGO and I was not impressed. Mostly because I'm used to Durango's, Cafe Rio, and Costa Vida. Those three restaurants send your burrito into the cooker, while Chipotle wraps your burrito and hands it over to you! Maybe it's time I give them another shot.

The study was judged on the following criteria:

  • Delivers on promises.
  • Asks for honest reviews and feedback.
  • Pricing transparency.
  • Builds relationships with consumers.
  • Consistent performance.
  • Listens to and acts on feedback.
  • Employee treatment transparency.
  • Provides behind-the-scenes info about processes.
  • Easy to use website.
  • Pays employees well.

The survey also names Pizza Hut, KFC, and McDonalds the MOST TRUSTWORTHY chains in America.
