Back in January I noted that a Tesla showroom would be opening in the former Lacoste clothing store in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek and the signage is now up preparing for a May opening. So even though half of Broadway Plaza is closed for redevelopment it’s good to see a new store especially Tesla opening up here.

The Liberty Bell Kiosks that opened with high hopes a couple of years ago (near the restaurant Il Forniao) and that have been empty for a while now have finally been removed freeing up space to enjoy the fountain.

Old location in Clocktower

RadioShack is relocating in the next month or so across the street next to Swad Indian Cuisine and Lafayette Beauty Store & Salon on Mt. Diablo Blvd. With the Lafayette Clocktower now home to three fashion boutiques (Francesca’s, Lanvie, and Venture) I can envision another kind of boutique opening up.

The men’s clothing store Pelican Rock that opened a couple of years ago in Walnut Creek is moving to Danville and plans on re-opening mid May. Check out their Facebook page here. They will be located downtown at 178 East Prospect, a street with quite a few clothing boutiques so they’ll fit right in.

Last month I posted some scuttlebutt that Madewell would be opening in Broadway Plaza and now it looks like fashion store Michael Kors will be opening in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek as well in the new section that will reopen in a couple of years.

45 Crescent Dr, Pleasant Hill
Back in February I noted that the men’s clothing store Atlas was opening a new location in downtown Pleasant Hill as well as expanding into women’s fashion and Atlas & Athena has now been open since last Friday in the Pleasant Hill shopping center on Crescent Drive in the clock tower. I dropped by to check it out and get some photos and as expected it looks amazing. With huge ceilings, windows and an expansive floor space it feels really bright and airy throughout. Combine that with a great design aesthetic makes this a great spot to check out the latest men’s and now women’s fashion.
There are plans for the clock tower to be redeveloped with a new, bigger clock, slider windows and a patio area in front so stay tuned for updates…

Plenty of photos of the inside after the jump…
