PALO ALTO, CA — A new shop with longtime East Bay roots has opened in swanky Palo Alto.

Sherri McMullen, who embodies the Uptown Oakland hip style, has brought her flagship store across the San Francisco Bay by opening the McMullen Boutique about a week ago as a second location at the Town and Country Village.

The trendy shop is situated at 855 El Camino Real, No. 36 in Palo Alto where Intermix once sat.
