Nelson’s The Royal opens a new chapter

Build­ings and com­pa­nies in Nel­son come and go and change with time but one busi­ness on Baker Street has con­tin­ued to be a fix­ture in the community.

“Nel­son is such a her­itage city,” said one of The Royal’s new own­ers and oper­a­tors Paul Hin­richs. “With us hav­ing such a hot spot, there is so much excite­ment that comes and goes through here, and The Royal has had 100 great years.”

Hin­rich and Howie Ross took over own­er­ship on Octo­ber 7 under the men­tor­ship of the pre­vi­ous owner Luke Menkes.
