WALNUT CREEK, CA — California-based fast-casual restaurant chain MIXT will open its newest location Tuesday at 1105 S. California Blvd. in Walnut Creek, occupying the former Genova Delicatessen space.

• Tuesday — The first 100 customers placing in-person orders will receive a canvas tote bag and may personalize it at a decorating station.

• Wednesday — Customers may receive discounts and giveaway items through partnerships with neighboring businesses Beyond Yoga, Changes Salon, and TruFusion.

• Thursday — The first 100 customers who purchase an entrée in person will receive a bamboo salad serving set.

• Friday — Beginning at noon, the restaurant will offer samples of its Valkyries Agua Fresca beverage and distribute Valkyries-themed stickers while supplies last.
