Thanks to a reader for sending word that HomeGoods will open this Sunday, June 8th from 8am – 8pm in the Pleasant Hill Shopping Center. Back in January I noted that Barnes & Noble would be closing at this location.
Crossroads Shopping Center, Pleasant Hill
Earlier this week we learned that Dick’s Sporting Goods would be opening on May 9th in the Crossroads Shopping Center in Pleasant Hill where the Dome movie theater used to be. There is an additional building being built right next door which will be home to a DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse.

Earlier this month we learned that Gotta Eatta Pita was opening their second location in downtown Pleasant Hill and they are now open. (Their first location, in Danville, opened last December.) I had a chance to stop by for dinner recently and was impressed with the offerings and reasonable pricing. This seems to have hit a chord with locals as they plan on opening more Gotta Eatta Pita locations (one per month!) throughout the Bay Area including San Francisco. Next up, Pleasanton, on Owens Drive.
The ordering reminds me of Chipotle. After choosing between salad/pita, and shawarma, falafel or the combo, you walk down the line towards the register adding various sides and toppings such as eggplant, purple cabbage, hummus, cous cous and tahini sauce. They kept stuffing more and more that I was getting nervous how I was going to eat it and on top of that at the end they went back and stuffed more falafels on top. They place it in a cardboard box in which the top half can be ripped opened allowing for easy eating. Check out their menu here.

Thanks to a reader for sending word that the Mediterranean bakery and bistro ShaadZee has closed in the Pleasant Hill shopping center in downtown Pleasant Hill. There are plans for the bakery (not bistro) to open in Pleasant Hill, stay tuned for updates…

Back in February I noted that the men’s clothing store Atlas was opening a new location in downtown Pleasant Hill as well as expanding into women’s fashion and Atlas & Athena has now been open since last Friday in the Pleasant Hill shopping center on Crescent Drive in the clock tower. I dropped by to check it out and get some photos and as expected it looks amazing. With huge ceilings, windows and an expansive floor space it feels really bright and airy throughout. Combine that with a great design aesthetic makes this a great spot to check out the latest men’s and now women’s fashion.
There are plans for the clock tower to be redeveloped with a new, bigger clock, slider windows and a patio area in front so stay tuned for updates…
Plenty of photos of the inside after the jump…

Great news for downtown Pleasant Hill as Danville-based Gotta Eatta Pita is opening their second location in the Pleasant Hill shopping center on Crescent Drive where Mazza Grill used to be. Check out their Pleasant HIll menu here. Their third location will be in Pleasanton so they’re growing fast.
Spotted near the Walnut Creek-Pleasant Hill border.
