Thanks to a reader for pointing out that Schroder Insurance relocated to Martinez after being in downtown Walnut Creek for 85 years. I passed by there so many times and appreciated the miniature fire engines on display. This surely must have been one of the oldest businesses in downtown Walnut Creek.

Last month Encore Theatrical Supply Company closed at Ygnacio Plaza in Walnut Creek after 20 years. Their Dublin location remains open. Check out their website here.
From their website:
Regrettably there are no longer enough sales to support the expense of providing the store. We are saddened to have to close and all that goes with it. We will miss our loyal customers and our staff in Walnut Creek.
Thank you again for your patronage. We await you in our Dublin location. At the right times of day it’s not a bad drive. We ask for your support for our remaining Dublin store so we can continue to fit shoes and help the dance and theater community. Please make your purchases with us, encourage your dance teacher to recommend the store rather than an online site, and bring us your group orders.
