Last December we learned that the baseball-themed restaurant McCovey’s was closing in downtown Walnut Creek, to be replaced with Southern California-based burger restaurant Slater’s 50/50. Take a look at this June, door handle of the day post highlighting the McCovey’s bats door handles. Notice that there was no For Lease sign in June. Does this mean that Slater’s 50/50 is no longer coming to Walnut Creek?

Starbucks will eventually be relocating within Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek. According to my source the new location will be a prime spot near the Macy’s side entrance. Previously, we learned that California Pizza Kitchen would also be relocating to a nearby spot at the new Agorra condo complex which may eventually lead to a larger restaurant at this location in the future.
