The restaurant and service industries are certainly booming in Winnipeg’s fast-growing northwest community.
Stacked Pancake & Breakfast House is one of the most recent restaurants to open, at 2211 McPhillips St. in Garden City, next door to Boston Pizza. Stacked is a popular Canadian chain based in Barrie, Ont., with over 130 outlets across the country. The new locations is one of three in Winnipeg, with the others aat 1600 Ness Ave. and 1600 Kenaston Blvd.
The McPhillips location features Stacked’s signature spacious seating, a menu listing over 90 items and great service. Henis and Yatri Patel are the owners of this location.

City counciller Devi Sharma (Old Kildonan) was on hand for the grand opening of Stacked Pancake and Breakfast at 2221 McPhillips St., along with (front row, from left) Frank Genovese of Stacked; franchisees Yatri Patel and Henis Patel; as well as Darren Firman and Alex Shaw, both of Stacked.
“Our customers top favourite items on the menu are waffles, eggs benedict, the breakfast specials and, of course, the Stacked recipe pancakes,” Henis told me.
Around the nearby Garden City Shopping Centre, there is a diverse circle of relatively new restaurants including My Village (next door to Stacked), Five Guys, Qdoba, Mar’s Sisig, Mirchi Masala, Buffet Square, Golden Curry, Royal Paan and Mama Nors Kitchen.
Additionally, to support the ever-growing housing and commercial developments, scores of small businesses and strip malls are popping up, featuring health clinics, salons, fitness centres and numerous chai houses.
All are signs of the growth in the area, as are the two new kindergarten-to-Grade-8 schools being built by the Seven Oaks School Division in the Aurora and Meadowlands developments. The first school is being built at 140 Mira Gate and will be open for classes in September 2026. The second will be in the Meadowlands community in the Rural Municipality of West St. Paul.
In addition, Winnipeg’s fifth Costco will be in the Meadowlands commercial district — west of Main Street and south of the Perimeter — and the long-awaited, new northwest Winnipeg public library will be in the Garden City Shopping Centre
