Well, that was fast. The Danville Chocolates and Alicia Klein Liberty Bell Kiosks have already closed. According to the kiosk’s website, the new tenants are:

I was looking forward to trying some Danville Chocolates but whenever I went they were closed, generally due to the rainy weather. Oh well, it’ll have to be Cafe Leonidas for now.
Citibank is relocating from their Mt. Diablo location near Pizza Antica to another Mt. Diablo Blvd. location next to the restaurant Metro as well as near the Whole Foods parking lot. Based on a peek inside it looks like they are almost finished.
Back in November when I noted that the baby goods store The Right Start was closing I mentioned that Paper Source would possibly be opening up in April in this location and it’s looking more and more like this is going to happen. Paper Source is definitely opening a store in Walnut Creek in April based on their Jobs page here. Doing a search for zip code 9496 shows they are looking for an Assistant Store Manager, Shift Supervisor and Store Manager.
I had mentioned in September that Sunrise Bistro might be expanding next door where the frame store Art Form used to be, but it turns out that this space is being combined with the now vacant spot to the right, giving whoever moves in plenty of floorspace. Take a look at the inside below:
I would have thought Paper Source would be better off in Broadway Plaza or closer to downtown on the other side, but this location on the periphery makes sense since they needed more space, and jives with their Berkeley location on 4th Street which is also at the end of the 4th Street shopping area. Coincidence? We’ll see…
Back last February I noted that the wax salon Stript Wax Bar opened with Lashfully in downtown Walnut Creek but now Lashuflly has the place to themselves as Stript moved to Lafayette across from Artisan Bistro at 1040 Brown Street in a comfy homelike building.
Despite the “We’re Moving” sign in the window, Wags & Whiskers Pet Boutique will be closing by end of January. Located on Locust St. in downtown Walnut Creek this is disappointing news for cat and dog fans.
Back in November I noted that Footcandy would be closing in downtown Walnut Creek by the end of the year and sure enough, yesterday was their last day in business. Did anyone get a great deal over the weekend or was everything gone?
Back in September I noted the opening of the pop-up “design house” store Toss Designs in Broadway Plaza next to Nordstrom that was to remain open through January but apparently business has been doing well so they will remain in the same location for at least one more year. As you can see they now have signage up as well.
With all this rain we’ve been having lately I thought it would be appropriate to note that a Liberty Bell kiosk that was not open initially called The Cover Up is now offering up umbrellas and rain gear. Not sure how long the kiosks will remain open after the holidays but this seems like good timing. The Liberty Bell kiosks are located in downtown Walnut Creek where the restaurant Il Forniao is located, across the street from Nordstrom.
Bare Escentuals has been rebranded as bareMinerals in Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek. According to an employee I spoke with they are now focusing on their bareMinerals line of cosmetics. The new signage looks great. bareMinerals is located at 1237 Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek.
