Thanks to everyone who emailed that The Dallas Morning News has reported that Neiman Marcus, which opened in 2012 at Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek, has added this location as one of the nine stores to its closing list.

Although the Write That Down Stationery and Gift Boutique closed in Walnut Creek, “due to COVID in May”, they are still open online. They have a 30% off summer sale and a very cool stationery selection so I encourage you to check them out and support a locally owned business online for now.
From their website:
In January 2020, we opened our first and only Write That Down storefront in downtown Walnut Creek, California. The shop featured a curated selection of greeting cards, stationery and gifts for all ages. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic we had to permanently close our brick & mortar shop in May 2020. However, Write That Down will carry on through our online shop until we can open again in a new location.

Last year we learned that Dioro Jewelers would be relocating here from Danville Livery, but although it looked like they would be staying put down the block, it turns out they relocated here after all. This a newly remodeled building where Rick’s Picks used to be across the street from Starbucks Reserve. Find out more about Dioro Jewelers here, and see some of what they offer here.
