Two Daughters Bakeshop

This Sunday July 28th, the More Fun Alley Association is having its very first event, which is painting our tires for the tire garden we're working on constructing in the alley space.
I wanted to try and provide participants with some kind of snack while they are painting the tires, and Two Daughters Bakeshop is located in the same alleyway and when I asked Lisa Reichelt if she would provide a in-kind donation of some baked goods for participants, she didn't even hesitate to say yes.  All Lisa needed to know where the date, time and expected number of participants.

Lisa Reichelt is the founder and owner of the Two Daughters Bakeshop, which opened back in October 2012, and has been serving gluten free baked goods to people from all over North Vancouver and beyond (I personally enjoy those delicious mini doughnuts).

Lisa opened Two Daughters Bakeshop upon her daughter being diagnosed with Celiac Disease, and people who are diagnosed with Celiac Disease have to go on a life long gluten-free diet.  Lisa wanted to provide a safe environment where her daughter can enjoy delicious gluten free food made from organic ingredients.

Lisa wants to support other small business that are opening in alleyways, and feels that alleyways have huge potential to improve neighbourhoods in a variety of creative ways.  Therefore, when I put out the sign up sheet for the More Fun Alley Association, Lisa was one of the first people to sign up and support the association.

Moving forward Lisa would like to be more involved with the community, and see other entrepreneurs taking a risk and opening up small businesses in alleyways.  Lisa would also like to beautify the outside of her bakeshop by including more plants and flowers.  One of Lisa's dreams is to open up another location in an alleyway somewhere in BC, like Victoria.
