I remember the very first time I saw a Panera Bread with a Drive-Thru option and it was out in Detroit, Michigan. At the time it was a crazy rare thing to see a Panera with a drive-up option until they started popping up in more locations.

Maine seems to be one of the last states to jump on board with the newest trends, which in a way is kind of why the people that live here, live here.

I was actually shocked to find out that according to PaneraBread.com, out of 2,230 total locations in America, Maine claims 6 of them. But don't be fooled, not all 6 of those locations will have the convenience of picking up your order without leaving your car.
