This week we learned that Apple will be opening in a new nearby downtown Walnut Creek location on July 28th. Considering it’s worth almost one trillion dollars with popular products like iPhones and more it’s not much of a surprise that they outgrew their previous location. As a longtime Windows user I’ve nevertheless come to appreciate my iPhone and iPad. I’m not sure this makes me an Apple fan but the quality is top notch albeit with a high price.
What Apple products do you own and do you consider yourself an Apple fan?

Sugaria Beauty, a salon in San Francisco, opened a second location in downtown Walnut Creek a few months ago. Interestingly, they offer hair removal services that uses sugar! I’ve heard of waxes and lasers for hair removal but never knew it could be done with sugar.
From their website:
Sugaring is a unique and natural way to remove hair. It is made from food-derived ingredients, and is natural. Yes, you can even eat it!! No animal tests were used in developing and producing the product.
Orinda Theatre Square
A new baby food subscription service called Square Baby is opening a retail store sometime in August in Orinda Theatre Square where ECHO Grove used to be. You can choose between a customized meal plan designed by a registered dietitian and pediatrician or select meals directly, which are delivered frozen every two weeks. Check out their online shop here.
From their website:
Fed up with all the fruit-heavy, sugar-laden baby foods masquerading as balanced meals, Katie Thomson, a Registered Dietitian with a Masters in Nutrition Science, knew she could do better.
With Square Baby, each meal is completely balanced and the Square Meal System™ delivers 100% of a baby’s daily recommended servings of fruit, veggies, protein, and grains. She even incorporated healthy fats like avocado oil, sprouted grains, lentils and Salba chia, and various protein sources like salmon, egg, and bone broth that were often missing from the leading jars and pouches.

It’s been over a year since we learned that Apple would be relocating across the street in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek and they’ll finally be opening on July 28th at 10am according to the Apple Walnut Creek web page. Note there will be plenty of floor to ceiling windows surrounding the building; it’s just papered over in these photos. Also, the open space behind the store where Starbucks, Lacoste/Tesla and Lucky Jeans used to be is huge! New benches surround the fountain and new paver stones have been placed throughout this section of the plaza. This is going to be a great place to stroll around.
