Tiffany gets New Door in Walnut Creek

November 18, 2013 11:30 am

It’s been a few months since vandals smashed in the front doors of Tiffany’s in downtown Walnut Creek but the new doors have finally been installed and they look great.

A couple of weeks ago I noted that the fashion accessories store Bracchiale would be relocating within Broadway Plaza and they are now open. Be aware that this section of Broadway Plaza looks like it will be closing in January so this is a short-lived move.
