The Japanese restaurant Kurumi that opened a few years ago in downtown Walnut Creek and switched ownership late last year was papered over when I walked by a few days ago. Phone is disconnected. Not looking good…

In February we learned that San Francisco-based Padis Jewelry would be opening a new store this spring at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek featuring De Beers Forevermark Diamonds. Interestingly, the opening signage has been changed from spring to summer and the Padis branding has been dropped. However, the Broadway Plaza directory still lists “Forevermark by Padis Jewelry”.

The Orchards at Walnut Creek
The juice bar Clean Juice is coming to the Orchards shopping center in Walnut Creek. Check out their menu here. In addition to juices they also offer Acai bowls, avocado and other toasts, and cleanses. I wonder how this will compare with Joe & the Juice?
From their website:
Clean Juice® started in 2014 as the brainchild of Kat & Landon Eckles. Landon, after spending years traveling internationally, was ready for a career change and more time at home with his growing family. Kat had spent the better part of a decade making smoothies and juices at home and shot off the idea of opening a juice bar in the Charlotte area.

Check out their services here which also includes facial/massage therapies as well as waxing and teeth whitening.
From their website:
Established in 2009 by the founder Vimaa Patel, her dedicated staff and loyal clientele have warranted the expansion of her eyebrow empire across the Bay area with multiple signature eyebrow boutiques.
