Background:
This update provides a response to inquiry received from City Council on any relocation
assistance efforts from city staff.
Staff’s responses to questions received from councilmember are shown in italics.
Q1: Is City staff working with Harvest Properties, or independently, to relocate Voyager
and Panera?
Staff response:
Yes. Outreach to the retail tenants has included business visits, letters, phone calls, and emails.
Voyager Craft Coffee expressed interest in remaining in Cupertino and staff held two separate
conversations with the business representatives. Staff is currently assisting the business in
identifying potential retail sites within the City that are available or will soon become available.
Staff has also provided permitting support to Voyager Craft Coffee in 2025.
After multiple outreach attempts, the franchise owner of Panera Bread Cupertino recently
responded and expressed interest in continuing in Cupertino. Staff reached out through several
channels, including contacting the company’s headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri, the franchise
group’s VP and district manager, on-site store management, and the contact information listed on
their business license. The franchise owner plans to speak with their landlord and will reconnect
with staff afterward about relocation support.
Staff are also working with the developer to understand and identify support for the retail tenants.
