Last week we learned that Ray-Ban would be taking over the Apex sunglasses store in Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek and they have now opened. Considering they are both owned by the Italian eyewear company Luxottica I’m not surprised they opened so quickly. Looks like Oakley just couldn’t compete with the allure of the iconic brand Ray-Ban. In fact, I realized after entering the store to browse I myself was wearing a pair of Ray-Bans which one of the employees kindly offered to clean for me. If you’re looking for Ray-Ban glasses this is the place to check out!

APEX by Sunglass Hut opened in the initial phase (late 2015) of the Broadway Plaza redevelopment next to Macy’s and they are going to become a Ray-Ban store. Both brands are owned by the Italian eyewear company Luxottica, and APEX also carried Ray-Ban.

Last year the San Francisco-based, Paris-inspired clothing store Les Lunes opened in Broadway Plaza next to the fountain and they recently relocated to a much larger spot where Kit and Ace used to be. Check out their collection here.

Yet more new art in downtown Walnut Creek. For those who miss the sculptures in Broadway Plaza, it’s good to see a hummingbird taking off.

Thanks to a reader for pointing out that according to the latest city permit information, the Canadian skincare company Saje (founded in 1992), will be opening their first East Bay location in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek.

Thanks to a reader for pointing out that Kit and Ace is closing all US locations. Sure enough, the Broadway Plaza Kit and Ace, which only opened at the end of 2015, is closed. That sure was fast. Usually you see sales for some time to get rid of inventory but the inside looked like a fully stocked store!
