The eagerly anticipated Indian gastropub Kanishka’s has opened in downtown Walnut Creek on Bonanza St. where Fujian used to be and it looks great inside.

The jeans shop 7 For All Mankind has closed in Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek. Considering this is located next to Lacoste which recently closed to make room for a Tesla showroom it looks like this may be used by Tesla as well.
For jeans there is still Lucky Brand and True Religion right around the corner where the fountain is.
