The women’s fashion clothing store Madewell, owned by J.Crew but based on an American denim label founded in 1937 , will be opening a new location in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek when the new section opens up in the next couple of years according to a reliable source.
From the J.Crew website:
In 2006, we introduced Madewell, a modern-day interpretation of an American denim label founded in 1937. Madewell continues to bring the same original integrity to everything it makes today, including a wide range of effortlessly cool pieces to pair with denim. Step inside any Madewell store across the country and you’ll notice a friendly general-store vibe and antique décor that naturally reflect the authenticity and timelessness of the clothing. In addition to Madewell’s brick-and-mortar stores, madewell.com (launched in 2010) is a strong sales driver. Madewell has also been making a further play in the digital space with a robust social media presence.

Back in January I noted that TheBEND Food Truck Market would be opening this month in Walnut Creek at 2211 N. Main St. but the opening has been pushed back until mid-late April:
To all of our valuable food truckies out there…Unfortunately we have been delayed again. We are looking at mid to late April to open the market. All of us at the the BEND are working very hard with the City of Walnut Creek and doing small site improvements during the next three weeks. Please bear with us as we strive to bring the market to life! As of now we will remove all trucks from the schedule and wait until the construction is nearing an end to open up the schedule for booking!
