Encina Grande, Walnut Creek
Last month Whole Foods opened in the newly remodeled Encina Grande shopping center in Walnut Creek and now PetSmart is open as well. They opened last week on Black Friday. With Petco open across the street in the new Orchards shopping center there are now plenty of options for pet owners. I ended up buying a nice looking pleco for my son’s aquarium. No more algae?

The popular downtown Walnut Creek coffee shop appropriately named, Coffee Shop, which opened just last year, is now sporting a public parklet in front with numerous tables to match what Peet’s has a few stores down. Interestingly, according to the parklet plan posted on the window, “ALL SEATING IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC”.
355 Hartz Ave, Danville
A new stationery and crafting store called Live Happy Paper Crafts has opened in Danville on Hartz Ave. If you do crafting you’ll definitely want to check this place out.
Orinda Theatre Square
ECHO Grove, the gift shop featuring a “curated collection of handmade goods” which opened a couple of years ago in Orinda Theatre Square is closing next month. If you’re looking for that perfect gift in Orinda check out this gift guide from WHAT’S UP DOWNTOWN.
From their Facebook page:
We will be finishing out this holiday season and will have a limited schedule in January to handle returns and the wind down of the shop.
Come down to the Grove and get 25% everything in the store and 65% off of all clearance items. Plus we will be making deals on fixtures and store equipment. All the gifts you’ve come to love, now much cheaper than before.
Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
The skincare kiosk Oceane Beauty that we learned would be coming to Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek has now opened. Check out their website here.

Back in August we learned that the Peruvian restaurant would be opening in Concord across the street from Todos Santos Plaza and they are now open. Check out their menu here.
How does this compare to Parada in Walnut Creek?

Last week we learned about a new food hall planned for downtown Walnut Creek across from the Century Movie Theater called The Foundry, and now that the planning commission meeting is over check out the renderings of what it’s going to look like. In addition to multiple buildings featuring close to 10,000 square feet of dining space, there will be a patio in back as well as a rooftop dining area. You can even spot a koi pond in back which makes sense considering the developer is responsible for the secret koi pond behind Va de Vi around the corner.
With condo developments sprouting left and right in downtown Walnut Creek I’m glad the developer chose to put a food hall instead and look forward to seeing what kinds of cuisine will be available.
