With all the store closings and relocations taking place at Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek this month in preparation for the partial closure of the plaza for its redevelopment over the next couple of years, many people have been wondering what new stores will open when the redevelopment is finished.
Rumors have been spreading that Chanel and Gucci are coming to Broadway Plaza but according to a source familiar with the plaza no “designer” brands have been signed so far. Apparently the closing and underperformance of Burberry and the lackluster performance of Neiman Marcus are causing such brands to take a wait and see attitude.
With that being said, what stores would you like to see at the new Broadway Plaza? My source may be able to confirm a couple of the new stores that are mentioned in the comments so take your best guess!
The crystal store Swarovski is closing on January 26th in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek but they’ll be back in two years, after Broadway Plaza finishes their redevelopment. You can still shop Swarovski online or at the Stonridge Shopping Center in Pleasanton or for a better selection, at the Westfield mall in San Francisco.
Replacing them will be the children’s clothing store Janie and Jack thanks to a reader tip.
