The staff were friendly and I got a free pin. I would go again! It has a lot of fandom stuff and some things I thought were not things I like. But obviously everyone has different tastes. Overall five stars! I would and will visit again. You WILL see me again. See you soon😁

I love my local hot topic because they have an amazing variety of merch and not just the same 3 things. The staff is always super nice and welcoming, if I’m wearing anime merch they always make a small conversation with me about the topic. I love this hot topic so much
