The Golf Mart will be moving from their Concord location to their new location at 2099 Mt. Diablo Blvd right off highway 24 in Walnut Creek. Golfsmith used to be a short walk away but they moved to Pleasant Hill last year. Connecting everything together is Pier 1 Imports which moved from the future Golf Mart location to the old Golfsmith location.
From Golf Mart’s website:
Serving Northern California as well as the San Diego area, the Golf Mart is a California institution and one of the best-reviewed golf chains in the country.
Stop by any of our 10 locations and see first-hand what some customers have called the, “Costco of Golf!”

The Lafayette based home decor and gift shop Transitions has opened a new location at the backside of Broadway Plaza.
From their website:
Transitions is a quintessential “Mom and Pop” business. Transitions originally opened in 1976 as an upscale beauty salon in San Francisco. In 1986 we left the big city, to start a new business and raise our children in Lafayette. Though a hair dresser by trade, I’ve always had a love for home decor and all things beautiful, hence the gift store. Our boutique is festooned with an array of thoughtfully chosen treasures for you, your home, or gifting.
Inside showcases antique tuba from 1930s:
You may recall in May I posted scuttlebutt about the backside of Broadway Plaza closing in 2014 and this is in-line with that as Transitions will only be in Broadway Plaza until the end of the year.

Back in January I noted that Arden B. was closing in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek and now J.Jill will be moving from around the corner next to Crate & Barrel to this new location. The planned open date is July 18th. The new location is right on the main drag across from Banana Republic and next to J. Crew so this is a better location but what happens when Broadway Plaza closes to remodel?
J.Jill old location in Broadway Plaza:
New location at 1005 Oak Hill Rd.
Last week I noted that Rossi’s Tennis & Running shop moved to Mt. Diablo Blvd. and now P & L Framing has opened in this location at 1005 Oak Hill Rd. next to where Blockbuster used to be. Their old location on Fiesta Lane is being completely remodeled as the former stores vacate to make room for high-end stores due to Cooperage American Grille opening next door.
