[NLRS] NLRS Breakfast in Maple GROVE in NEW LOCATION on 11 April 2026

[WA2VOI, Donn]

As announced in March,  the Golden Corral in Maple GROVE  has CLOSED.  All the signs, etc. 
are gone, so they must have been serious.

I asked for a vote as to what to do, and the result is to continue in Maple GROVE at a new 
location.

For at least this  month's Breakfast we'll meet at  Panera Bread in the "Arbor Lakes 
Retail Center."  The actual address/ location is:
Panera Bread
7778 Main Street
Maple Grove, MN 55369

We MAY decide to move to some other location in the area as there are other  restaurants, 
but most are "real restaurants," i.e., sit-down and order.  This isn't really conducive to 
they way we operate so we'll have see.

Start time is the same: 0900.

Hopefully, I'll see at least some of you on Saturday.

There's nothing on the NLRS web site yet so I've added the below to (I hope !) help you 
get through the Rat Maze that is the street layout in the "Retail Center."

I think these are the easiest ways to get to Panera Bread  (Tested):

1) West Bound 90 / 694:
EXIT at Hemlock Ln N.
CROSS  Hemlock Ln onto Main St.
Follow Main St ~6/10 of a mi to Elm Creek Blvd N
CROSS Elm Creek Blvd N.  Panera Bread is one (1) block north on Main St.
Proceed PAST Panera Bread to the next street (unmarked): turn RIGHT (East) and then into
the parking lot along side Panera Bread.  Door on the south end of the building.

2) North Bound 694 >>  West Bound 94 OR East Bound 94:
EXIT Weaver Lake Rd EAST Bound
Follow to Elm Creek Blvd N (~1/2 mi).
TURN SOUTH (RIGHT) onto Elm Creek Blvd N
Follow Elm Creek Blvd N ~ 9/10 mi to MAIN ST.  (Main St is poorly marked...watch
carefully.)
TURN NORTH (LEFT) on Main St.   Panera Bread is one (1) block north on Main St.
Proceed PAST Panera Bread to the next street (unmarked): turn RIGHT (East) and then into
the parking lot along side Panera Bread.  Door on the south end of the building.
