The cookware store Sur La Table is getting an interior remodel in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek and by moving their stockroom upstairs will be offering cooking classes beginning in September. Look for the remodeled section inside to open the first week of August. It’s been a few years since downtown Walnut Creek offered a place for dedicated cooking classes.

Both lululemon and ivivva (athletic wear for girls), also owned by lululemon, are moving to separate locations in Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek.
