The Bread Garden, rorth mall Park Royal Shopping Centre, West Vancouver. This garden of great coffees, breads, quiches, taris and other baked goods is scheduled to open at the west end of the Park Royal north mall on Dec. 15. The North Shore outlet willbe the fifth Bread Garden in the Lower Mainland area — the fourth is scheduled to open cn Nov. 2 in Richmond — and it will be the jargest store of the Bread Garden chain (3,000 square feet). Cam Watt, North Vancouver resident and one of four Bread Garden partners, said the decision to bring the Garden to the North Shore was based on the high rec- ognition of Bread Garden products among North Shore residents (Do the words Cinnamon Knot mean anything to you?) and the desire of the new Park Royal ownership to have the Bread Garden and its thriving social atmosphere in the newly renovated Park Royal mall. The North Shore Bread Garden will be open from 6 a.m. until 2 a.m., which should give the droves of North Shore Garden fans ample time to tend their Garden enthusiasms.
