Know of a Business in Town Opening or Closing?

"Sprouts & Shutters" is a business column that tracks store openings and closings in Martinez and Central Contra Costa County.

Whether you're a business owner about to open a new establishment or a local resident who noticed a "Coming Soon" or "Out-of-Business" sign, please tell Patch about it using this simple form above. Don't worry if you don't have all the details — tips are helpful, too, but please include a business name and city.

The information will be used for the "Sprouts and Shutters" column and to update the business directories.

Here is the business directory:
