Patisserie Picasso owner Ned Jahshan said he joined the patisserie trade in 1989 and spent 12 years working around Perth before opening his first store in Mindarie, also called Patisserie Picasso.

“I ran that for eight years then relocated to Drovers Marketplace where I set up the bakery there and ran it with my business partner for 3½ years,” he said.

“I took a year off to relax then started looking for my next patisserie location.”

Mr Jahshan said he found a shop in fast-growing Yanchep and realised there was nothing in the area similar to what he made.
