ThredUp Opens Popup Shop in Downtown Walnut Creek

August 22, 2017 8:30 am

Broadway Pointe, Walnut Creek

Earlier this month we learned that the online thrift store ThredUp would be opening their second retail location (10 month popup) in the Broadway Pointe shopping center in downtown Walnut Creek where H&M used to be and they are now open. I stopped by with my teenage daughter and was impressed with both the selection and quality of clothes. Before you go clothing shopping drop by to see what they offer. You could save quite a bit AND help the environment at the same time!

Atlas & Athena Closing in Downtown Walnut Creek

August 21, 2017 8:30 am

1387 N. Main St, Walnut Creek

The clothing store Atlas & Athena, which reopened in downtown Walnut Creek after previously having shops elsewhere downtown and Pleasant Hill, is closing by the end of the month. Judging by the store closings in Broadway Plaza (and across the nation), such as Michael Stars, Kit and Ace, ivivva and Vince Camuto, this doesn’t come as a huge surprise with the changing retail landscape. As you can see in the sign below, all clothing is 40% off with home goods 30% off. Fixtures etc are for sale as well.

1632 N. Main St, Walnut Creek

The Persian bakery Haleh Pastry which opened last year and closed earlier this year is being replaced with a restaurant called Ikoi. Details are scant but I’m hoping for a Japanese restaurant. This does mean that Rinehart’s jewelry clock is due for an update. How about SUSHI? TONKATSU?

1521 Contra Costa Blvd, Pleasant Hill

A new yoga studio called Align Yoga that we learned in May would be opening in Pleasant Hill has now opened. Check out details on their studio here and schedule here. I like how they use an, “air filtration system, which combines Hepa filters and ultraviolet light to kill 99% of all harmful bacteria.” They also have showers and offer hot yoga at various temperatures. Find out about their class offerings here.
