Several shops in the recently opened backside section of Broadway Plaza are ones that have relocated within the plaza or from downtown Walnut Creek, but one completely new one is the children’s clothing store Hanna Andersson.

Starbucks-owned Teavana has opened next to of all places, Starbucks, in Broadway Plaza at their recently opened location across from Macy’s in downtown Walnut Creek. This is no ordinary Teavana though and is one of the few concept stores to focus on loose leaf teas where there are even mixing bowls to combine one’s loose tea selection. In addition to hot tea samples there is also an iced tea sample area with four sweetened iced teas. When I mentioned to them it might be nice to offer one unsweetened iced tea they said they have been directed to use only sweetened teas. OK, then, sweetened teas it is.

Several months ago we found out that Wetzel’s Pretzels would be coming to a kiosk in Broadway Plaza and now the other kiosk will soon be home to the skincare shop Oceane Beauty.
From their website:
The two key ingredients that make the Oceane line stand tall above the competition is Pearl Powder and Marine Plant Stem Cells, both well known for their age defying and beautifying properties.

We knew for a while that GAP would be relocating to the new Broadway Plaza redevelopment in downtown Walnut Creek and they have now reopened in a beautiful two story section on the backside of Broadway Plaza between Nordstrom and Macy’s. It’s much bigger than the previous location and both the outside architecture and inside look great. Plenty of natural light thanks to giant vertical windows that run straight up from the ground floor. Note the comfortable lounge area in front.

Last October we learned that the resort and swimwear store Everything But Water would be coming to Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek and as you can see in the photo they will be opening next month in July and will be located where L’Occitane en Provence used to be. L’Occitane is now in the newer redeveloped section across from Macy’s.
There is plenty of work going on the backside of Broadway Plaza as it gets ready to open later this week. Stay tuned…
