Läderach and VICI open downtown; Sur la Table and Rowan to follow

Walnut Creek’s downtown is undergoing a transformation this fall, with four new storefronts opening their doors to the community. The Swiss chocolatier Läderach has already welcomed customers to its Broadway Plaza shop, while VICI, a clothing label, has opened its doors on North Main Street. Two more businesses, Sur la Table and Rowan, are set to join the bustling downtown scene in the coming months.

The arrival of these new businesses is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy and community. Läderach, known for its premium chocolate offerings, and VICI, a trendy clothing store, are already attracting visitors to the area, enhancing the shopping experience for residents and tourists alike. The addition of Sur la Table, a well-known kitchen store, and Rowan, an ear-piercing studio and jewelry brand, will further diversify the retail offerings, providing more options for families and shoppers.

Walnut Creek has a long history of supporting local businesses and fostering a vibrant downtown area. The city council has been proactive in attracting new businesses and maintaining the downtown’s appeal. Broadway Plaza, where Läderach and Sur la Table are located, has seen several renovations and improvements over the years to keep it a desirable location for both businesses and shoppers. The city’s economic development team has played a key role in bringing these new businesses to the area.

Läderach, which opened on August 14, is located at 1275 Broadway Plaza and can be reached at (925) 404-5461. The store is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. VICI is situated at 1366 N. Main St., with hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. The store can be contacted at (925) 517-3444. Sur la Table and Rowan are both listed as coming soon at Broadway Plaza, with no specific opening dates announced yet.

As the new businesses prepare to open, residents and visitors can look forward to a more diverse and exciting shopping experience in Walnut Creek.
