According to the latest Walnut Creek permit information it looks like a Peloton cycling showroom is planned for Broadway Plaza next to Amazon. For about $2,000 you get the carbon steel frame bike professionally assembled in your home as well as a 12 month subscription to their $39/month riding plan with live streaming classes and real time performance tracking. Check out their classes here.

From their website:

Founded in 2012, Peloton brought top talent together in its Silicon Alley headquarters to create a new concept in fitness. We loved cycling but had a hard time finding a workout that consistently fit our schedules, and our at-home workouts never felt quite up to par. So, we set out to create a world-class indoor cycling studio experience on your time, and in the comfort of your own home.

The popup leggings shop Just Cozy which opened in October in Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek is closing January 15th. When I stopped by over the weekend they had really great sales going on with further reductions coming. Look for them to come back again next fall season as well.

In July we learned that Teavana would be closing in Broadway Plaza (and all other retails locations) in Walnut Creek and they have now closed.

The baby and children’s clothing store Monica + Andy opened less than a month after we first learned they would be replacing ivivva/XCVI in Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek right on time for the holiday shopping season. All clothing and blankets are made with organic cotton and they can order anything not available in-store and have it shipped to you directly. Beginning in January there will be various programs featuring local artists, musicians etc. hosted in the back of their store. Check out their online collection here.

It’s interesting to see online stores moving into retail locations, I think this is just the beginning…

A couple of weeks ago we learned that the baby and children’s clothing store Monica + Andy would be coming to Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek and as you can see in the above photo the Coming Soon signage is up with an expected opening timeframe of “Holiday 2017”. Considering it’s almost December this means they are hurrying to open ASAP for the all-important holiday shopping season.

Almost two years have passed since Barnes & Noble closed in downtown Walnut Creek and finally a new bookstore has returned with Amazon Books having opened yesterday at Broadway Plaza. (Swan’s Fine Books which sells rare and vintage books is also downtown). With their highly detailed online shopping data Amazon is able to feature in-demand books throughout the store, face-out to make it easy to browse. There is a kid’s section in back as well as Amazon electronics such as Kindles, Echos etc. on display throughout the store. Unlike Barnes & Noble that offered sales on best sellers and other books at Amazon Books, amazon.com pricing is only available for Prime members. Otherwise it’s list prices for everything. (Ironically, if you’re not a Prime member, you could browse Amazon Books in-person and then order via bn.com to get better pricing)! To find out Prime pricing there are scanners throughout the store where you can scan books (see photo after the jump). Magazines are list prices even for Prime members. Unlike Capital One Cafe down the block that offers 50% off Peet’s drinks when using a Capital One credit card, there are no cafe discounts for Prime members. Also, I saw only four chairs available along the front window so seating is extremely limited. With wide aisles and nicely curated books facing cover out, Amazon Books is a great place to browse and shop for books particularly for Prime members.
