Hot Topic in other cities:
This review isnt directed towards the workers. It is directed to Hot Topic as an establishment. I recently bought a couple shirts from Hot Topic and I went to wash them and the blue shirts bled into the lighter shirts i got and they are ruined. I came in the store today and they said they couldnt except a return because they had been washed. Like... are you kidding me the reason I am having this problem is because I washed it before wearing, like most people. Hot Topic should do a better job informing customers on shirts that have the ability to bleed especially if they dont help fix the problem they created.
Miss Scott was super helpful getting things down for me so I could try them on even though I ended up asking her to put most of them back. She was friendly and professional even though I have social anxiety and was overrun with verbal diarrhea. Despite the fact that I was babbling endlessly, she remained cheerful and polite during all of our interactions and it made me feel very comfortable in the store. Would happily shop here again.
Wow. The staff in this place loves their jobs and it shows in the insanely excellent treatment my family and I received while there. They were friendly, helpful and professional. I honestly will go back often for the simple fact that its like heaven on earth in there. Ive never felt so appreciated as a customer or human being in my entire life. I bought far more than I originally intended to just to have an excuse to stay longer. My daughter asked if we could live there. I may get a tattoo of the hot topic logo on my chest to show my undying gratitude for the fantastic service they have shown us.
Ive been shopping at this particular Hot Topic for over 15 years. Customer service has always been great & attentive. Their selection of merchandise has been awesome. My only complaint is how small & over crowded the store is nowadays. These days its just a cluttered mess. Needs bigger location & better organization.
Great deal on hats. Need better selection, was in Chicago and they have more super hero gear. Shirts and hats were represented well there. New fresh gear. Whoever is doing the buying for this location, please take risks. We deserve better than this. Also the employees are very nice and helpful. Love this place, just not the selection.
Have loved hot topic for years, since i was a teen so long ago. Generally always stocked and a variety of items, but have noticed that im not seeing as much makeup in the stores, or the random jewelry (necklaces, earrings, etc). It also seems like hot topic may not be completely geared towards the rock/metal/punk/horror/goth communities. I am noticing more rap/pop merch than ever before. I pray this store returns to its roots so they dont lose their customer base, BUT, im still a fan of Hot Topic for now.
I have been going to Hot Topic for 25 years. omg! I will always shop at Hot Topic. Its a great store full of memorabilia that takes me back my youth. I am a proud 40 year old. With a love of all things metal and Gothic. Ive never met an employee who wasnt willing to help. Tonights cashier, he was extremely outgoing and was super diligent about explaining all the sales!Thanks for helping make my Christmas shopping easier! m/
Staff worker was very helpful when I explained the difficulty trying to obtain an item exclusive to the Hot Topic stores. It wasnt found online or I would have ordered online and she tried to find one to order in, only to be snubbed as well. She took my name and said she would hold it for me if another came in. I was surprised to get a call the next day saying it had arrived and would be held for enough time for me to get there. I wish I had her name, but she knows who she is.
So Im at Hot Topic to get a pop figure for my boyfriend and me and this other guy have been waiting outside for a good hour after they were supposed to open. The lights are off the door is still closed. I called the mall and they transferred me to i think whomever was supposed to open the store. She said she would be leaving shortly. Leaving from her house? Girl youre an hour late, they sent me security to find out where you were.
I used to love this store when I was younger but it has changed so much and not for the better. The average price for a band t-shirt now ranges from $21 to $25. And that is just for your basic, run of the mill graphic t-shirt. That is outrageous! Their other clothing items have always been a bit pricey but are even more so now. They push more pop culture items instead of music related merchandise now. Most of their merch is now very juvenile and seems to be marketed towards kids. Ordering from them online is even worse. My husband and I ordered 4 t-shirts last year during their black Friday sale that we were absolutely ecstatic to receive. After 2 weeks of waiting we finally called customer service and they informed us that our items were not properly ordered due to a warehouse error and none of the shirts we wanted were still available. We had to pick entirely different shirts as they wouldnt issue my husband a refund. None of them were ones we really wanted. In fact we probably only still have one of the shirts from that order. The shirt we do have has many small holes in it that started to form after only 2 washes. A total bummer! I used to wear shirts from there that would last years. Totally not what Hot Topic used to be. They seem to not care as much about music merchandise and it seems they just try to cash in on whatever is trending with tweens. You are much better off ordering your band merch directly from the bands website or from other websites who special in music merchandise. They will be better quality and you can get more than just 2 shirts for $50.
Called to get an item and workers told me they couldn’t hold anything or sell anything over the phone. Drove 45 minutes to pick up the item. Turns out the associate was holding the item for their friend. Told me it was sold. Saw it sitting behind the counter. Horrible service.

2022-07-12Absolutely love bringing my daughter here. She has such a difficult time finding clothes that she likes on her body everywhere else, but here everything fits her body wonderfully and the staff is so incredibly friendly and helpful. Cierra specifically has been here 2x that we have and both times she has been so kind, helping my daughter pick stuff out and holding onto items she wants until we were done so we didnt have to carry around a bunch of stuff.

2022-08-19Definitely a different selection than the last time I was there. It seems to have been taken over by anime and pop figures, but I really dont mind. Still found some great tshirts and earrings too! Friendly staff and decent music while we were shopping here.

2022-05-27I had a terrible experience while shopping for a gift, I was accused of stealing by the manager Ciara and she proceeded to call me obscenities when I wouldnt let her go through my purse because I didnt take anything and had two shirts and a few other small things in my arms that I was getting ready to buy. Definitely wont be coming back any time soon.

2022-08-04My favorite location in the area by far! They have a great clearance selection, friendly staff, and the temperature of the overall store was cool enough not to overheat and accommodate all of the bodies.

2022-03-29I love HotTopic. Over the years the aesthetic has changed to create a place that can accommodate families. There is Hello Kitty, Disney, and other fun cartoon themed items. Yet, they still carry their original darker more music influenced items that fit the goth or pink scene. This store isnt getting hit as hard (or they arent looking like it) as other stores inside the mall. There is not any other in person stores in the US like HotTopic. Young, Middle-aged, and older can all find a little something to enjoy. Especially with the friendly staff there to help!
