Better late than never, Pinkberry is finally have a pre-opening this evening from 5pm to 10pm in downtown Walnut Creek next to the Cheesecake Factory on Locust St. Free frozen yogurt (and frisbees, water bottles plus a DJ) during this time and there will be plenty of tables outside. Any Pinkberry fans out there?
Bath & Body Works has recently closed in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek. Last week I noted that Brighton Collectibles temporarily moved to the backside of Broadway Plaza for remodeling so not sure what’s going on. Seems like musical chairs as J.Jill recently moved from one spot to another as well in Broadway Plaza.

Spotted in front of the House of Beads in downtown Walnut Creek next to Peet’s on Locust Street. The sign says, “Welcome to the best bead shop! Enjoy every moment!” Not sure if this is for their customers only but it would be a great spot to sit down for a while. I’ve never actually seen anyone sitting there come to think of it.

I mistakenly posted about Head 2 Toe Reflexology opening in downtown Walnut Creek back in June, but that was only the signage. As you can see by the above photo they are definitely open now.
This could have been titled, “Succulent Garden of the Day (Chair Edition)”, but anyway, this cool chair was spotted at the gift boutique Wish on Boulevard Way in Walnut Creek.
Back in early July I noted that the Lafayette Art Gallery Sculpture Garden was getting paved over for a parking lot to handle customers to the new restaurant Cooperage and as you can see from the photo above the sculptures are completely gone and the new boundary has been marked. There is hope that some of the sculptures will be moved the front and you can see one of them there now:
The men’s clothing store Atlas on N. Main St. in downtown Walnut Creek that I wrote about back last September is moving to a larger location in downtown Walnut Creek. Stay tuned for the new location… Thanks to a reader for pointing out the For Lease sign.
