V & V Fine Jewelry & Coin opened a few years ago in downtown Walnut Creek and they have now closed.
Danville Hotel Town Center
The eyewear and accessories store Look + See, which opened a couple of years ago at the Danville Hotel Town Center between Hartz Ave. and Railroad Ave is closing soon. As you can see in the store window most things are currently 60% off.
The Veranda, Concord
Thanks to everyone for sending word that Gap Factory opened last week at the Veranda shopping center in Concord. Check out the Gap Factory online store here. What’s the difference between Gap and Gap Factory? I know Gap Factory offers a more affordable selection but is the quality the same as Gap with less selection or does the quality differ?
Plaza Center, Lafayette
Apparently Peet’s Coffee at Plaza Center in Lafayette is lacking space so they have a separate storefront on the backside that acts as a storeroom. Nicely decorated; too bad it’s not a special Peet’s Reserve store like Starbucks Reserve though.
Pleasant Hill Shopping Center
Thanks to a reader for pointing out that Burlington (Coat Factory) is coming to the Pleasant Hill Shopping Center where Toys R Us used to be before relocating to the Veranda shopping center in Concord, according to this Mercury News article.
Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
Thanks to a reader for pointing out that The Art of Shaving is closing in Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek. Note that 40% off sign is only for those who join their “replenishment club“. I wonder if all the construction going on impacted their sales. Too bad they decided to close now because the Apple store is almost finished, the men’s clothing store UNTUCKit opened recently nearby, and another men’s clothing store, Bonobos is set to open nearby as well.

The men’s clothing store Bonobos is coming to Broadway Plaza where Skin|17 used to be near Macy’s, according to the latest city permit information. Check out their online store here. This comes a day after we learned that the children’s clothing store Monica + Andy closed right across from this location. It turns out that the founder of Monica + Andy is the sister of Bonobos founder Andy Dunn. Before Skin|17, another men’s clothing store, Ministry of Supply, used to be here.
From their website:
We started Bonobos because we couldn’t find pants that fit. They were either way too tight or too boxy. We fixed it. Now we’ve expanded our playbook to shirts and suits.

Schedule a one-hour appointment at one of our Guideshop locations. Try on anything you like and have a cold one from the fridge. A knowledgeable Guide will walk you through the entire Bonobos line and help you find your perfect fit. A Guide will place your order and it will be shipped directly to your home or office. Walk out with your hands free.
