Plaza Center, Lafayette
Apparently Peet’s Coffee at Plaza Center in Lafayette is lacking space so they have a separate storefront on the backside that acts as a storeroom. Nicely decorated; too bad it’s not a special Peet’s Reserve store like Starbucks Reserve though.
Willows Shopping Center, Concord
We first learned that Massage Envy was planning to come to Willows shopping center in Concord at the beginning of the year and they have now opened. Check out their introductory massage price list here.

You’ll have opportunities for hands-on exploration of the equipment, and get answers to all your questions.
The Veranda, Concord
Earlier this month we learned that Coffee Shop would be opening this summer in the Veranda shopping center in Concord and right next door, Residual Sugar Wine Bar, with their main location in downtown Walnut Creek, is progressing as well as you can see in these photos. There is a huge patio area on the side and the fountains in front of the IMAX theater are nearby so this is going to be a great spot to hang out once they open.
