I recently stopped by Willow Ave Shopping Center at 844 Willow Ave, Hercules, CA 94547, to take my son for a haircut at ATR Barber Studio because they always do a great job. However, it looks like ATR has either moved or closed permanently, as the shop wasn’t open when we arrived. It was a bit disappointing, but I’ll have to check if they’ve relocated.
Aside from that, this shopping center has a great mix of stores, restaurants, and services. Smart & Final is the go-to grocery store for quick shopping trips, offering fresh produce and bulk items at reasonable prices.

If ATR Barbershop has moved, I’ll definitely be looking for their new location because they always delivered great haircuts. In the meantime, this shopping center remains a good spot for quick errands, dining, and...

So if you needed a quick little off and on the freeway this would...
