Back in January I noted that Southern California based Veggie Grill would be opening a new location in downtown Walnut Creek on Locust St. next to Anthropologie and Tender Greens and construction has now begun. Back then I pointed out that the small Nail Shop location was not included in the plans which I found strange but that has changed as the walls are gone so there will be more space available for seating which is great. Check out the Veggie Grill menu here.
Juicy Couture has closed in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek as well as throughout the country as the brand (not the stores) has been sold to Authentic Brands Group. The stores itself are owned by the Kate Spade Company which also owns Lucky Brand Jeans and some former Juicy Couture locations are being turned into Kate Spade and/or Lucky Brand stores. More information at the Sacramento Business Journal here. Word on the street is a travel agency will be opening at this location. Stay tuned…
