The popular Three Girls Bakery at the Pike Place Market is heading to Ballard for their second retail location.

We spoke with Ryan Gaylord of CW Development, the contractor on the project, who tells us that he’s busy transforming the old Ballard Pet Store on 15th Ave. and 61st St. into the new bakery. He says they’re aiming for a June 1st opening, but with any construction project the date isn’t set in stone. He says that Three Girls has been contracting out their baking, but plans to do all their baking at the new Ballard location and send their fresh breads and pastries down to the Market. Three Girls is well known for their selection of breads, pastries, sandwiches and soups. (Thanks Sarah for the tip!)
