Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
The activewear clothing store lululemon has relocated from their downtown Walnut Creek location to Broadway Plaza and are now open. In October we learned about the metal tree design being overlayed on the storefront as as you can see in the photo above it has come to fruition, very cool looking! Check out updates on the Walnut Creek lululemon Facebook page here.
Previous downtown Walnut Creek location:
1548 Bonanza St, Walnut Creek
The iconic Hubcaps sign is gone from the Hubcaps diner in downtown Walnut Creek, replaced by the soon-to-open Sacramento restaurant Broaderick Roadhouse and today from 9am – 2pm there is a job fair so it looks like the opening will be happening soon as noted previously. Check out their menu here.
1524 Locust St, Walnut Creek
Last month we learned that Limon Rotisserie would be coming to downtown Walnut Creek and now another restaurant, Pleasanton-based Lokanta Mediterranean Grill & Bar, looks set to open in downtown Walnut Creek as well. Check out their dinner menu here and lunch menu here.
An employee at Lokanta did indicate they would be opening however according to city permit information both restaurants are using the same 1524 Locust St. address. If you look closely at the above photo you may notice that it’s split with an internal wall, however the address at left is 1524 and the address at right is 1520 so we’ll see if this space will be occupied by both restaurants or not. Stay tuned…
