Located on North Roselle Road at the intersections of both Golf Road and Higgins Road, Hoffman Plaza is located about 25 miles northwest of Chicago’s Central Business District.

Other national and regional retailers include Papa John’s, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service, Sally Beauty, Goodyear, and Denny’s. Hoffman Plaza was originally developed in 1972 and was renovated in 2008.
