The designer women’s clothing store Max Studio closed earlier this month in downtown Walnut Creek in Broadway Plaza. Back in January I noted that Arden B. would be closing as well so I wonder whether there is beginning to be an impact as retailers wait and see whether the Broadway Plaza long term plan will be approved by the city which would increase the retail space significantly but also demolish much of what is there currently. On February 19th the Broadway Plaza owners Macerich will present a refined development proposal so it will be interesting to see what they offer up.
From the Walnut Creek Police:
Suspect #1: Unknown race adult, 20s, thin build, approx. 5’9” to 5’10”, wearing a white hoodie sweatshirt, blue jeans, black/white sneakers, a black beanie and wearing gloves. Suspect was armed with pepper spray.
Suspect #2: Unknown race adult, 20s, thin build, approx 5’9” to 5’10”, wearing a black hoodie sweatshirt, gray cargo pants, black/white sneakers and wearing gloves. Suspect was armed with a sledge hammer.
Suspect Vehicle: A newer model Black Infiniti SUV FX35 with silver roof rack and silver alloy rims. Suspect vehicle was being driven by a third suspect. No further description.
NARRATIVE: On 01/29/13 at approximately 1428 hours, Walnut Creek Police Dispatch received a call that the jewelry store located at 1258 Broadway Plaza was being robbed. Officers and Detectives responded and arrived within minutes, but the suspects had already fled. Witnesses said the two suspects entered the business, with one suspect spraying employees with pepper spray while the other suspect broke the display cabinets with a sledge hammer. The suspects were in the store less than one minute and fled Northbound on Broadway Plaza in the suspect vehicle which was waiting out front. The loss was several Rolex watches. The employees and one customer in the store were not injured and declined medical attention.

Not much surprise as it’s a seasonal store but Go! Calendars & Toys is closing by February 1st in the former Build-A-Bear location in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek. It looks like there are some good deals on calendars and toys so drop by to see what’s available before they close up shop (for now).
The women’s clothing store Arden B. is closing January 29th in Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek. Currently the entire store is 40% off so drop by to get in on some of the deals before they close for good.
Back in September I noted the opening of the pop-up “design house” store Toss Designs in Broadway Plaza next to Nordstrom that was to remain open through January but apparently business has been doing well so they will remain in the same location for at least one more year. As you can see they now have signage up as well.
Bare Escentuals has been rebranded as bareMinerals in Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek. According to an employee I spoke with they are now focusing on their bareMinerals line of cosmetics. The new signage looks great. bareMinerals is located at 1237 Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek.
This is the first window display I’ve seen where the mannequin is facing away from the window. Props to Neiman Marcus in Walnut Creek for their creativity!
The eyebrow threading store i bar 2, mentioned back in January comparing it to the cafe e bar a few steps away in Broadway Plaza has been closed for a while now. In its place is the NorCal Weight Loss Center which is sporting a fairly new sign.
