Thanks to a reader for sending word that the Nissan dealership on N. Main St. near Target has closed. Their website redirects to the Concord dealership.
La Fiesta Square, Lafayette
Late last year we learned that The Shade Store would be coming to La Fiesta Square in Lafayette and they now plan on opening early April, possibly on April 5th. The storefront is particularly visible and bold at night as I’m sure people who drive by see. Check out their online gallery here.
Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
Last month the children’s clothing store Janie and Jack was planning on closing at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek due to the bankruptcy of its owner Gymboree. However, it turns out that Gap bought Janie and Jack for $35 million and so it will remain open and continue to operate as a standalone brand according to this SF Chronicle article.
Lafayette Clocktower
Last November we learned that the piece. store opened in a second location in City Center Bishop Ranch in San Ramon and earlier this year we learned that they were relocating their Lafayette boutique around the corner within the Lafayette Clocktower but as you can see in the above photo they have closed their Lafayette location permanently. The San Ramon location remains open. Look for a new children’s boutique to open in their original Lafayette location later this month.

Thanks to a reader for pointing out that the home decor and furniture shop Z Gallerie is filing for bankruptcy for a second time (the first one was in 2009) and according to the bankruptcy filing are planning to close numerous Bay Area locations including Berkeley, San Francisco and downtown Walnut Creek at the corner of Mt. Diablo Blvd. and Locust St, where they relocated a couple of years ago.
Willows Shopping Center, Concord
Any Mountain is closing next month on April 22nd in the Willows shopping center in Concord. When I visited over the weekend everything was at least 20% off as far as I could tell. This will leave Willows with one outdoor recreation store, REI. Any Mountain will also be closing their Roseville location.
1 Meritage Lane, Walnut Creek
Last October Shadowbrook Winery, Walnut Creek’s very first winery and tasting room since prohibition opened in the Northgate area of Walnut Creek. The inside is exquisitely designed with a main bar area front and center, surrounded by separate sections that can be rented out for events. Wine tastings are available on weekends and can be booked here. Their online wine collection can be found here.
From their website:
Shadowbrook Winery has become Contra Costa County’s most decorated winery in San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition with over 60 medals.
Although a boutique winery, Shadowbrook is a leader in the industry featuring state-of-the-art equipment and technology rarely found anywhere in the U.S.
Tim Jochner grew up in Walnut Creek not far from where Shadowbrook Winery stands today. Like the wine growing region itself, Tim has deep roots here and takes tremendous pride as the catalyst in revitalizing the grape growing industry that once thrived here before prohibition.
