The musical chairs continues as Victoria’s Secret will be moving a few stores down where Bath & Body Works used to be in Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek. The opening is planned for November. In June I noted that J.Jill was also moving within Broadway Plaza so it’s interesting seeing so much action going on there recently. If I recall the new location where Bath & Body Works used to be is far smaller than Victoria’s Secret current spot.
Victoria’s Secret current location:
1342 Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
From the Walnut Creek PD:
On the above date and time [August 24th, 2013, 11:06pm], WCPD received a call that an armed robbery had just occurred at the Corner’s Tavern Restaurant office. Responding officers arrived within a minute and found the suspects had robbed an employee in the back office. Other employees and patrons in the restaurant were unaware of what transpired.
A neighborhood canvass resulted in a witness who saw the two suspects flee south towards Newell Avenue and to a waiting car. The car was described as a silver colored SUV, possibly a Jeep Cherokee and it fled northbound through the Broadway Plaza parking garage.
Loss from the business was an as of yet undetermined amount of money. No one was injured during the robbery and the investigation continues. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Walnut Creek Police Department at (925) 943-5844.

Adib’s Persian Rug Company is moving from their prime downtown Walnut Creek location to 1424 S. Main St. across from Kaiser Hospital on October 1st. The new location is where Clarissa Bridal used to be, next to The Pacific Bay Coffee Company. Adib’s had been at their N. Main location for 16 years but apparently rents kept rising so they decided to move. I finally checked out the inside and it’s HUGE, especially the ceilings. I wonder what will end up there. Check out their online collection here.
