The morning of Monday, May 11, Tinley Park locals anxiously awaited as family-owned Hamra Enterprises opened the doors and officially kicked off the grand opening celebration of their 100th unit, a Panera Bread in Tinley Park, Ill. A significant milestone for the multi-store franchisee of Wendy’s, Panera Bread, Noodles & Co. and Holiday Inn Express and Suites, many notable company members and partners spoke to this great success.

Finally, Founder and Chairman, Sam Hamra, along with his son, President and CEO, Mike Hamra, thanked their board, management team and employees who keep the company moving day in and day out.
