Last month I noted that the boutique TRB Outlet would be closing in January on Cypress St. in downtown Walnut Creek and it turns out that the shop selling French goods, Decors de France, located in Broadway Plaza will be relocating to this location on February 7th. This is a really nice shop, glad they’re sticking around downtown.
Moving sign:
Decors de France future location:

Banana Republic will be relocating across to Victoria Secret’s former spot in Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek, possibly in February.

Back in June I noted that the women’s boutique J.Jill was relocating within Broadway Plaza and now Gymboree will be opening in this location as their current location across the street will be demolished soon to make way for the Broadway Plaza redevelopment.
Great Clips recently opened in the Rheem Valley Shopping Center in Moraga and are offering $6.99 haircuts during their grand opening.
Back in September I noted that the women’s boutique BCBGMAXAZRIA closed in Broadway Plaza and it turns out that another women’s boutique, White House | Black Market is relocating to this spot in Broadway Plaza.
White House | Black Market future location:
560 Contra Costa Blvd, Pleasant Hill
Thanks to a reader for sending word that Barnes & Noble, located in the Pleasant Hill Shopping Center will be closing this January to make room for Home Goods. Borders closed a couple of years ago in Pleasant Hill as well so what will the largest bookstore in Pleasant Hill be after Barnes & Noble closes? The closest nearby Barnes & Noble is in downtown Walnut Creek. More info also at Claycord.
With all the store closings and relocations taking place at Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek this month in preparation for the partial closure of the plaza for its redevelopment over the next couple of years, many people have been wondering what new stores will open when the redevelopment is finished.
Rumors have been spreading that Chanel and Gucci are coming to Broadway Plaza but according to a source familiar with the plaza no “designer” brands have been signed so far. Apparently the closing and underperformance of Burberry and the lackluster performance of Neiman Marcus are causing such brands to take a wait and see attitude.
With that being said, what stores would you like to see at the new Broadway Plaza? My source may be able to confirm a couple of the new stores that are mentioned in the comments so take your best guess!
