A couple of months ago a fire gutted Mt. Diablo Tile and Stone on Mt. Diablo Blvd. in Walnut Creek and apparently a Lafayette-based hair salon is planning to relocate to this location. Anyone know which hair salon?

The Ballet School is expanding in downtown Walnut Creek off N. Main St. in the covered passageway where boutique Norf London and the barber shop Amplify are located. There will be a few small rooms available for private pilates and music classes.
From their Facebook page:
Exciting News! We are expanding!!!! We will have 2 music rooms for private voice and piano lessons with Mr Vince. As well as a new room for Miss Kelley to have her private and duo Pilates Reformer lessons!! It’s a great space in the alley by our friends Norf London and Threads!!!!! This means a wonderful new viewing area lobby for our downstairs studio.
Ygnacio Plaza, Walnut Creek
Supermarkets have pulling a disappearing act lately in Walnut Creek on Ygnacio Valley Blvd. with word that Fresh & Easy will be closing soon, and Safeway closing in Encina Grande a short hop away, to be replaced by Whole Foods next year. Safeway may reappear across the street at Orchards sometime in the future. Considering that Nob Hill Foods and Trader Joe’s are close by, what supermarket or store would you most like to see where Fresh & Easy is now? Draegers? 99 Ranch?

Thanks to a reader for pointing out this Business Times article that reports that Fresh & Easy will be closing in Ygnacio Plaza in Walnut Creek. Employees have been telling people that April 2nd will be the last day. I noted the eventual closure way back in April of 2013, and the time has finally come so stock up on those British food items ASAP.
The children’s birthday and fun center Smile Tu has closed in the Encina Grande Shopping center in Walnut Creek due to the eventual construction of the new Whole Foods store right next door where Safeway currently is. However, according to a sign in the window they are, “switching gears and going mobile with a service that can come to you.”
From their website:
We will be working on constructing a new mobile bus that can bring the party to you. For any questions or requests please email us @ smiletuinc@gmail.com

11 Fiesta Ln, Lafayette
Last November we heard some scuttlebutt about Patrizia Marrone boutique opening in downtown Lafayette and it’s true, when I dropped by on Friday they mentioned that they will be opening by today. They are located between Amphora and 18|8 Fine Men’s Salon. Previously they were located in Blackhawk Plaza in Danville.

For those following progress on the giant window that has been added to Macy’s during the Broadway Plaza renovation, the giant Believe poster has finally been removed to reveal the window. Interestingly, based on the previously featured rendering, it looks like only nine panes will be transparent.

Supercuts hair salon is coming to Orinda across from the burger restaurant Nations on Moraga Way.
