The downtown Lafayette women’s boutique Duchess is relocating to 408 Hartz Ave. in Danville sometime next week. Their lease expired after six years at this Lafayette location. Check out their Facebook page here.
From their newsletter:
I have a new little joy coming into my life with a due date set for August. This relocation factors him into my life as well; because by moving Duchess to Danville I will be going home, of sorts. I was raised and lived in Danville for the majority of my life and fortunately for me my parents and family all still reside there. I have heard it takes a village to raise a child and that village for now is in Danville. The lease at our current location has expired and while I searched to find the right place in order to keep Duchess in Lafayette, it just didn’t work out.

A new personalized grocery delivery service started by local Walnut Creek woman Brooke Dodson is open for delivery orders beginning today for anywhere in Walnut Creek, Lamorinda, Danville and a few other locations. For details on how it works click here and for their pricing page click here.
From their website:
Go-Getters was founded by Brooke Dodson, a girl who loves grocery shopping. As a kid, she loved trips to the store with Mom, eventually taking over the household shopping in high school. While studying Economics at UCLA, she worked as a personal assistant to a Beverly Hills family, and that’s when her idea for a personalized grocery delivery service first began to take shape. Since then, Brooke has worked in marketing in several different industries and received her MBA in Marketing and Strategy from UC Davis in 2013. Throughout her career and her education, she continued to assist friends, family, and colleagues with their grocery purchases. In 2014, Brooke decided it was time she took this passion, along with her education, creative energy, and entrepreneurial spirit to create Go-Getters. Based on the concept of putting the “person” back into personal shopping, Go-Getters offers busy parents, professionals, seniors, and small businesses personalized delivery of groceries and more. Go-Getters currently serves the East San Francisco Bay Area, with hopes for future expansion.
