Back in September I noted that eyebrow threading salon iBar was moving from their Broadway Plaza location to the Mercer apartment complex on N. California Blvd. and they are now open. In fact both locations are open although iBar in Broadway Plaza will be closing at the end of January. Check out photos of the inside below…

It looks like the Mercer apartment complex, located diagonally across from the Lesher Center in downtown Walnut Creek will finally be getting a coffee shop as Starbucks is planning on opening there pending city approval. Finally, a coffee shop!
This year the Broadway Plaza Santa House is located in a real storefront which is a step up from the converted space in the parking garage of past years. This is one benefit of stores closing down for the impending Broadway Plaza demolition.
