The women’s clothing store Talbots is relocating down the block where Uniqlo used to be according to Walnut Creek Magazine. Look for this to happen by year-end.

Thanks to everyone who emailed that Pier 1 Imports will be closing in Walnut Creek. They’ll be closing towards the end of April and this is just one of over 400 stores closing around the country, almost half their total stores, due to the challenging retail environment.
Orinda Theatre Square
The second hand clothing and home goods store MidMod Exchange opened recently at Orinda Theatre Square. Acording to a sign in the window, everything is under $40, “new items every week”. Check out their Facebook page here.

Back in 2011 when the San Francisco Giants Dugout store opened in downtown Walnut Creek, they had won the World Series the year before, and would go on to win the World Series the following year. The last few years have not been as rewarding with losing seasons the last three years so it’s not surprising they closed last week. Thanks to all who emailed me about this.

A new, locally-owned stationery and gift boutique called Write That Down opened recently in Walnut Creek right next to Pancoast Pizza. In addition to shopping, they also plan on hosting events such as flower arranging, calligraphy and more. Sign up for the flower arranging class here and find out more about the grand opening party on January 11th here. Thanks to all who emailed me about this.

Until fairly recently Amazon Books at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek had no price tags. You had to scan items on one of their scanners scattered around the store. I’m glad they now have electronic price tags with both Prime and non-Prime pricing that can be automatically updated. Way more convenient shopping there now!

Thanks to a reader for sending word that Lou & Grey will be closing late January at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek. Look for SoCal-based men’s clothing store TravisMathew to take over this spot.

Papyrus closed the other day in the Lafayette shopping center near Trader Joe’s, and next to possibly the longest store closing I have ever witnessed, (since 2017), Whippersnappers. The Broadway Plaza location in Walnut Creek remains open.
