Spotted at Kate Spade in Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek.
The women’s clothing store Arden B. is closing January 29th in Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek. Currently the entire store is 40% off so drop by to get in on some of the deals before they close for good.
Back in September I noted the opening of the pop-up “design house” store Toss Designs in Broadway Plaza next to Nordstrom that was to remain open through January but apparently business has been doing well so they will remain in the same location for at least one more year. As you can see they now have signage up as well.
Bare Escentuals has been rebranded as bareMinerals in Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek. According to an employee I spoke with they are now focusing on their bareMinerals line of cosmetics. The new signage looks great. bareMinerals is located at 1237 Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek.
This is the first window display I’ve seen where the mannequin is facing away from the window. Props to Neiman Marcus in Walnut Creek for their creativity!
The eyebrow threading store i bar 2, mentioned back in January comparing it to the cafe e bar a few steps away in Broadway Plaza has been closed for a while now. In its place is the NorCal Weight Loss Center which is sporting a fairly new sign.
The Christmas tree is now up at Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek. Same decorations as last year but fun to see this time of year. More Broadway Plaza events are listed below:
It’s that time again, Santa’s Workshop, aka photo studio, has been set up in the back of Broadway Plaza across from Boudin Bakery. Photos with Santa will be available beginning November 17th through December 24th. The schedule is:

A couple of weeks ago I noted belatedly that Build-A-Bear closed in Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek, and already it’s been taken over by the seasonal store Go! Calendars. It seems like every year Go! Calendars hops from store to store taking advantage of temporary lease opportunities.
Back in August I noted that Starbucks was opening up in Broadway Plaza’s Macy’s in downtown Walnut Creek, and they are now open for business. There is no sign outside indicating a Starbucks, but it’s literally right inside at the corner near Haagen-Daaz.
Check out the cool wall decoration:
Now downtown Broadway Plaza has two Starbucks. They also just bought La Boulange Bakery around the corner (soon to be serving Starbucks coffee), Barnes and Noble has a Starbucks cafe inside, and there is another Starbucks a stone’s throw away in downtown Walnut Creek as well. Does anyone feel like there are too many Starbucks in downtown Walnut Creek? On a side note, I downloaded the Starbucks app on my iPhone to try out the payment by phone and think it’s pretty cool how gift cards can be stored on the phone.
