An exciting new announcement from Park Royal this morning includes confirmation of the rumours of new fashion and food stores in the newly expanded and improved shopping mall.
Much anticipated Sephora will set up shop with their famous black and white striped cosmetics and fragrances outlet. And West Vancouver will now see it’s first Lush store location as well.
Aritzia and Zara will both unveil stunning new flagship type stores and mainstay Wear Else will move to the Park Royal Village location.
Foodies will also be excited to hear that Five Guys Burgers and Fries is returning this summer but no confirmation yet on when the Keg will move to it’s new pad location on site.
West Vancouver’s Emad Yacoub and wife Shannon Bosa-Yacoub will now also add to their Glowbal Group empire by opening their first North Shore location with Trattoria. A take-off of their already popular and award-winning Italian Kitchen (Alberni) and Trattoria (Kits) locations, this third instalment will feature a stunning roof-top view deck and fabulous food.
“I’m so excited to have a place close to home,” say Shannon Bosa-Yacoub. “I’ve lived here my whole life and every time something new opens up it’s always exciting. The whole development is super exciting.”
The building itself is still being built and when finished will sit near the overpass adjacent to Marine Drive on its own independent pad near what is now the existing McDonalds (which is also scheduled for relocation). Bosa-Yacoub also says it will be “very outdoor Italian” and fresco in its styling and geared to families as well as adults. It will also bring everything that the Trattoria style is known for including long bars and open kitchens with a distinguished top deck feature.
