Plaza Escuela, Walnut Creek
It looks like there can actually be too many Starbucks as the Starbucks in Plaza Escuela in downtown Walnut Creek will be closing on November 1st. The letter below points out the three other Starbucks in the area.
The Veranda, Concord
Thanks to a reader for pointing out that according to the latest directory map Barnes & Noble is coming to the Veranda shopping center next to Banana Republic in Concord. You may remember that Barnes & Noble closed over two years ago in downtown Walnut Creek and almost five years ago in Pleasant Hill. I wonder whether they’ll change anything up to compete with Amazon as they plot their return or will they continue to push the NOOK and hope for their loyal shoppers to return.
