Pavilions opening benefits 2 Newport Beach schools

Two Newport Beach schools will benefit from the opening of Newport

Coast’s Pavilions.

Pavilions, the anchor at the Newport Coast retail center, will open

today, and before the cha-ching of cash registers can be heard, store

officials will present $500 checks to Newport Coast Elementary School and

Corona del Mar High School.

The new store will feature numerous conveniences, such as a hot

bakery, full-service deli, an extensive fine wine selection, a natural

foods department and a full-service floral department. It will also offer

a Starbucks, one-hour photo service, dry cleaner and pharmacy.

In its first month, Pavilions will hold a sweepstakes for a seven-day

Caribbean cruise and instant giveaways.

The store is at San Joaquin Hills Road and Newport Coast Drive.
