Help Walnut Creek get an independent children’s bookstore by supporting the Flashlight Books Indiegogo campaign here. Check out their Facebook page here. In addition to selling books they also plan to, “host events, create a tutoring space, and run programs for kids and teens.”

From an email:

My name is Shoshana Smith, and I am currently working to open up an independent children’s bookstore in Walnut Creek. We’re running an Indiegogo campaign right now to help raise funds for start-up costs, and I was wondering if it would be possible to have our story and campaign mentioned in your coverage. I think it would be of great interest to the Walnut Creek and surrounding community, and we’d really like to reach out to those community members who would be our future friends and patrons!

The hair extensions store Perfect Locks has recently relocated from their Concord location to Walnut Creek. Check for updates on their All Tressed Up blog here. Thanks to a reader for sending photos!

From their website:

We’ve been busy, really busy. Finally, our big move is happening and we couldn’t be more excited. 2 years in the making, our new state of the art flagship location close to downtown Walnut Creek will be the talk of the Bay Area and beyond. We’ve moved our corporate offices and retail hair extensions store from Concord, CA to a brand new location in the affluent, trendy, and rapidly expanding area of Walnut Creek. Located just 40 minutes from San Francisco and 15 minutes from Oakland. With free parking easy access from highway 680, our new Bay Area location makes it an easy choice for savvy hair shoppers. It may not look it, but we’re 98% complete and we’re adding the finishing touches this week. Stay tuned for our amazing grand opening announcement and party invitation!
