The shoe store Ecco is closing in Broadway Plaza but plans to return in the Fall of 2015 when the backside of Broadway Plaza reopens. This is just one of many store closing announcements happening in Broadway Plaza recently.

Back in April I noted that Elegant Living Furniture opened in Broadway Plaza and they are now closing as the Broadway Plaza redevelopment begins in the next few months.
More than a few heads were turned as Santa was spotted window shopping the other day in Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek.

Back in March of last year I posted the first renderings of how the Broadway Plaza redevelopment might look and this week new renderings were posted at the Walnut Creek current projects website. Previously there was consideration of converting the street for pedestrian usage only as well as apartments above the retail stores. Judging by the new renderings both of these ideas have been quashed. The rendering above shows the backside of Broadway Plaza facing Nordstrom. So how do you think it looks?

This took me a while to notice but when women’s clothing store J.Jill moved to another Broadway Plaza location in downtown Walnut Creek they just so happened to move right next to another “J.” store, J.Crew. Coincidence?
This year the Broadway Plaza Santa House is located in a real storefront which is a step up from the converted space in the parking garage of past years. This is one benefit of stores closing down for the impending Broadway Plaza demolition.
A couple of weeks ago I noted that the fashion accessories store Bracchiale would be relocating within Broadway Plaza and they are now open. Be aware that this section of Broadway Plaza looks like it will be closing in January so this is a short-lived move.
The store closings are continuing apace in Broadway Plaza and this time Häagen-Dazs, located next to Macy’s has exited. With winter approaching I imagine this is probably as a good a time as ever for an ice cream store to leave due to the impending demolition and reconstruction of Broadway Plaza sometime after January.
This Macy’s Christmas window display in Broadway Plaza has been up well before Halloween and a reader writes in:
It is all Christmas and has been like that for two weeks now. Can you get a photo of it and do a poll to see how many folks think it is too early seeing that it is before Halloween AND Thanksgiving?
So do you think it’s too early for Christmas window displays? If so, what’s the best time to start displaying?
