Blue Back Square's Experimental Au Bon Pain Closes; Conveyor-Belt Sushi Place To Open
A prototype store of Au Bon Pain that tried a more Panera-like layout failed at Blue Back Square and closed a week ago. Barbara Lerner, project marketing manager, said it was the only one of its kind in the country. "It was not as successful as they would've hoped. We knew they were struggling a little."
