Boswell's Party Supplies Now Closed

The popular party store shut its Pacheco location on Monday, July 9 after 27 years in business.

From balloons and candles to themed party accessories — Boswell's had it all. In fact, if you ever needed a life-sized cardboard cutout of Marilyn Monroe or a pirate costume, the popular party supply store was the place to go. 

But after 27 years in business, Boswell's Discount Party Supplies, at 5759 Pacheco Boulevard, closed its doors for business Monday, July 9.

The store announced that it had to give up it's Pacheco location due to a lease disagreement. Some staff members were invited to work at the Danville, Lafayette and Pleasanton stores, according to a Boswell's clerk.

From the business:

Boswell's Party Supplies is very sorry to announce that after 27 years in the area we will be closing our Pacheco store as of July 9th, 2012. We tried to negotiate a new lease but were not able to come to agreement. Boswell's will continue to look for another profitable location, but until that time we encourage you to shop in our other local stores that remain open to serve you. 

Boswell's of Lafayette 3483 Mount Diablo Boulevard, 248-9150

Boswell's of Danville, 1901 Camino Ramon 866-1644

Boswell's of Pleasanton 3160 Santa Rita Road (at West Las Positas)

When in doubt, don't. Your safety when you travel is always the most important and when you areRead More concerned about something, asking is good, but remember any town now has people with nothing better to do and your car etc. might be just what they are looking for to break in or worse. I'm a worry wart, but, no one is safe all the time even in cute, sweet, old fashioned Martinez.

I have found it's very hard to find a parking spot there. Another negative is the number of theRead More "constant outsdoorsmen" types lurking all around. I've been confronted several times and worried about leaving my car there.

The Fire Crew worked very late into the night and into the next morning. The Police were alsoRead More working nearby, picking up some of the dead baby animals that were hit on the road, displaced by the fire.

Hi Robert, Thanks for dropping in and checking out the blog. The new Patch look is so 'new' as I amRead More still learning to navigate through. Just updated it and added the link to my film review. Thanks again. Cheers!

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we knowRead More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!

Do City Council members still get free parking passes as perk?
Palermo May 20, 2013 at 03:30 pm
The main reason I don't go to any of the businesses downtown is the lack of parking. What littleRead More there is is taken up by the owners of these establishments. God forbid they park somewhere else less convenient so actual paying customers can frequent their businesses.

Jim, then that's yet another penalty for showing up for jury duty. The system needs a big overhaul.Read More
