“JAY, IS THE BEST, SHE MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE FAMILY. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU STEP INTO THE SHOP. HER CUSTOMER SERVICE IS IMPECCABLE. WHEN I SEE HER I KNOW I WILL BE HAVING FUN IN HER STORE.
THANKS JAY, SWEATIE, FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO.”
“Jess made the experience amazing! She grabbed some options that matched my vibe while I was in the fitting room and when we discovered I was an XS she made sure I knew exactly where to go on the website to find my size. Thank you!”
“I went to the Tampa location at first, but while the staff were friendly and welcoming, the selection wasn't that great. So I went to the Clearwater store and wow, what a difference! Great selection of unique hippy-esque clothes, decor, jewelry, incense, candles, even tarot and oracle decks! Prices are what you would expect in a mall, but as others have mentioned, you can get some great deals in clearance. I had a coupon for 20% off, which included clearance items, so I purchased an oracle deck for half the price of retail (sweet!). Plus, they have sales often so you can get some deals that way.
I'm not sure what the 'original hippie' one-star reviewer is complaining about. The staff was very friendly, and I was welcomed as soon as I walked into the store. I will definitely stop in again the next time I'm on this side of the bay.”
“I had to shop for winter boots and Kohl's was my hero! All the other places had already started putting out spring and summer merchandise. I understand this is Florida, but we were having unusually cold weather conditions so the other stores should have kept their winter merchandise stocked. Nevertheless, I found my perfect boots and I was given a great price and my cashier Marie (Maria) from the Bronx was so nice, loved loved loved her and the manager worked his magic with the price! Thank you guys!”
“Hot Topic at Countryside Mall is always such a fun and energetic place to shop. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere grabs your attention with great music, colorful displays, and walls lined with band tees, accessories, and collectibles. The store has an incredible variety of pop culture merchandise, anime gear, alternative fashion, and unique statement pieces that make it easy to find something new and exciting every time. Whether you’re shopping for yourself, a friend, or a special occasion, there’s always something that feels perfectly matched to your personality and interests.
What really sets this location apart, though, is the staff. They’re consistently friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the products they sell. They make it a point to greet everyone, offer style suggestions, and even help track down sizes or items that might be out of stock. I love how approachable they are and how genuine their enthusiasm feels. They clearly enjoy what they do, which adds to the positive vibe of the store.
The prices are fair, the deals are frequent, and the clearance section always has hidden gems. I always walk out happy with my purchases. Hot Topic at Countryside Mall is truly my favorite spot for bold fashion, fun gifts, and outstanding customer service.”
“We stopped here in Jul 2021 and found an incredible outfit for my wife. Haven't had the chance to get back to Clear Water since but stopped by today, sadly it was the weekend and it is closed. Don't fret we will be back during the week to do more shopping soon.”
“My favorite shop when in CWB. Lots of great t shirts, as well as flip flops and cool stuff. The staff could definitely be friendlier. The lady working on Saturday am was complaining about some dude showing up to work before his shift and called him a moron. Much less than professional. She should have been more focused on being helpful and less on her coworker. She certainly wasn’t friendly. I felt so bad for the young guy having to work with such a harsh lady. If the manager or owner sees this, she needs some coaching.”
“Grew up coming to Sand Key and had to stop by my favorite gift shop! They have soooo many t-shirt options. You can pick your favorite print and color shirt and they’ll make it right there! Lots of magnets, keychains, and other souvenirs. Family owned business that I’ll continue to visit each year :)”
“Great location right here in the mall good selection of products. My wife loves this place. I wish they would stay open till 9 o’clock because they were closed when we came this time but usually we come during the day and it’s fine. Steve is pretty friendly and my wife loves to clothes so I guess we’ll be back again..”
“Ordered a pair of shoes on line, A brand new to me, when they arrived they were too narrow. No problem returning to the store. They credited my account and I reordered next size (again on line) they fit great and the credit showed up in my account right away. Don't you just love getting shoes on sale? Especially, when you're assured you won't get stuck with something that does' fit.”
“Going to my first County concert, went in looking for attire help. They were so kind, helpful, attentive and patient. I am going to dress the part well Saturday. Thank you!!!”
“I haven't shopped at Old Navy for years. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection,quality and size range. I could finish most of my shopping at one location.”
“Staff was very helpful always there never had to look around for someone. Patient and accommodating, the cute girl working there knew what I needed even before I did and she was right ?.So what are you doing reading this still wearing that tight beat up stained pair of pants (just me?) come and get you some fresh quality gear at a good price.”
“I like the clothing selection they have here. Trying on clothes is easy, the sales people are helpful and not pestering, and the store is constantly changing out its selections.”
“Nice store. Clean. Great sales. I wear a lot of the Gold Label Polo shirts. They hold up well and don't fade as easy as others. I hope these stores don't go away. I went tonight on Wednesday and there was hardly anybody in the whole mall”
“I can't seem to walk into a vans without buying at least 2 new pair of shoes. It seems there are new colorways dropped monthly. Get the popcush pro models for that good insole.”
“We walked in LATE in the evening, and they waited until we were finished shopping to close the store! They could've turned us away, but they chose not to! That's the sign of a great business in the area!!! Many could learn from their salesmanship! The 2 employees were absolutely wonderful and eager to please, while showing us items after items discounting each! We walked away as happy as they were with making the sales! The store is clean and loaded with merchandise and playing great music? A lot of it is common from tourist surf shops along the strip! Worth the visit to look around and a gem of a store! ?”
“Amazing experience! Luis and Carl were incredible! I got invited to a wedding 1 week in advance and didn’t have a suit. Luis and Carl had me measured, fitted in a great suit and with a tailoring pickup in under an hour. Will definitely shop here again!”
