A couple of weeks ago I noted that The Candy Counter will be opening soon on N. Main St. in downtown Walnut Creek and now there is a small window display of various candies that will be for sale.

Spotted at Spitz Jewelers in downtown Walnut Creek, the sign incorporates a diamond ring into the design, brilliant!

Back in February of last year I noted the closing of Studio Blue Digital Print and Copy and now The Nail Lounge has opened in its place on Locust St, across from Anthropologie.
Dick’s Sporting Goods is opening soon according to a sign on the former Bally Total Fitness building in Pleasant HIll. If they are opening there I’m not sure what’s going where the Dome movie theater used to be, anyone know?

The eyebrow threading salon iBar is opening soon in another location (in addition to their Broadway Plaza location) right next to The Counter at the Mercer apartment complex on N. California Blvd. in downtown Walnut Creek. If I had to take a guess I imagine this is in preparation for when Broadway Plaza closes. This way they’ll still have a downtown Walnut Creek presence, and since the stores at Mercer are populated by so many salons this makes sense that they would move there.
Back in August the Walnut Creek police reported that the Walnut Creek Tiffany’s had their front doors smashed in by a truck and this is how to doors look like now. Pretty sad, I hope it gets replaced soon.
BCBGMAXAZRIA has closed in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek recently judging from the empty storefront as seen in the photos below. By the way, how do people pronounce this store name? Surely people don’t pronounce the entire name, right? It’s eight syllables!
Empty inside:
It took me a while to catch this since the sign looks so similar to the previous one but this Steinway Piano Gallery sign replaces the Sherman Clay Piano sign since Steinway purchased this location (corner of Locust St. and Bonanza St. in Walnut Creek) from Sherman Clay as noted back in May.

Back in July I noted that that The Golf Mart would be opening in downtown Walnut Creek where Pier 1 Imports used to be and they have now opened. This is located across from the Shell gas station at the corner of Mt. Diablo Blvd. and Oakland Blvd.

Yesterday I noted that a new candy store called The Candy Counter is coming soon to downtown Walnut Creek on N. Main St. and now another candy store called Kandyland is opening in downtown Walnut Creek next to The Counter restaurant on N. California Blvd. Judging by the reference in their website to Print Cates who has been involved with Powell’s I’m wondering how this will differ from Powell’s. Note that this is in the Mercer apartment complex where so many salons are located.
From their website:
Our Kandy Kaptain, Krystle, has always loved all things sweet and sparkly!
Krystle’s passion for Kandy and glam began like most people as a child.
Krystle’s sugary dreams have inspired her to embark on her own Kandy Kareer!
She decided in May to attend the Sweets & Snacks Expo in Chicago. It was
there that she heard about real life “Willy Wonka,” Print Cates.Our Kandy Kaptain immediately turned on her Kandy Radar, and located
Mr. Wonka in San Francisco. Lollipops and sparkles ensued, and before
you know it our Kandy Kaptain had found her Kandy “Print”ce! Kurrently both
are heavily involved in the Konstruction and Opening processes of Kandyland.
The Sparkle and Glamour will arrive winter 2013.Current thoughts are to open a flagship store and then subsequent corporate
stores. The “K” in Kandyland of Kourse arrives from our Kandy Kaptain,
Krystle’s own unique spelling of her name. The “K” theme is Karried throughout
Kandyland…and we just decided anything we wanted to spell with a “K”…
…we would!
