Was in and out quickly and promptly for my site to store pick-up. Was cool to see a new associate learning and them still keeping the business moving simultaneously!!

Friendly staff, always willing to assist without making your feel like they are harassing you. They always doing something work related. They dont make you feel like youre interrupting them. Theyre more than happy to drop anything theyre doing just to assist you in any way. Love this store. Clean, well organized, awesome styles.

Nice selection of items available. Pretty small in comparison to the one at my local mall in Columbia but good nonetheless.

Hot topic is a fun store with great staff. They make sure you are fully satisfied and will help so long as you ask. There is a fitting room that gets cleaned everytime someone wants to go in, making me feel safer.

This location has a lot of variety for almost any fandom or alternative artist you can imagine. Theres beautiful alt dresses, jeans, hoodies, skirts, bags, jewelry, and collectables (not to mention their insane selection of T-shirts.)Although hot topic is on the more expensive side, their products are amazing and one of the few places you can find merch of your favorite fandom in store.The employees are proactive and a delight to talk to and my only complaint is it can be a bit hard to navigate due to the sheer amounts of merchandise.Check back to see whats in clearance! Anyone can find something theyd like in there

Customer service is nice but leaving the store closed for an hour midday is a huge inconvenience and staff should find a better way to handle store hours. I am very dissatisfied.

Review №28

I go here mostly for anime shirts and trinkets. Got 2 teenagers who love anime and manga! One whos a literal artist who draws and the other one whos just an artist! 😆 But....! If youre looking for a place to find indie, grunge, goth, metal, or alternative tee shirts and accessories this is the place. Its not a superstore of stuff to pick up from, but it does enough for me when looking for just the right gifts that everyone can enjoy. So...? It just may be enough for you too. Checkem out!!

The price for a t shirt was 15, but they had a buy 2 get one free. Service was quick and good, they didnt ask for my email which I liked. Good variety of band shirts and merchandise. My girlfriend really likes this store. Definitely will come back.

I feel like a Hot Topic is a weird thing to give a review of, but everyone who worked here was just so great I needed to give a shout out. They had a buy one get one for a dollar special on the dresses. I found a first dress, but then of course couldnt pick a second for the life of me. All of the employees were patient with me and kept up the high energy, even when I asked for the dressing room for an 8th time. They were like that with everyone who walked in, and made a great team.

My son loves it and given the selection of things that appeal to his generation, its not hard to figure out why. Friendly staff with a good sense of humor. Processed a return with no arguments, debates nor discussion.

I dont think Ill ever stop loving Hot Topic. Its been such a part of my life for so many years, back when it was the only place I could get manic panic, without trekking to Georgetown and hitting commander Salamanders (a boutique store that is literally how hot topic was made into an empire, bringing the elements of cool specialty stores usually only found in larger cities, to suburban malls and the kids that didnt have access to those big city shops) Im 38 now and I still go in to hot topic every time Im in a mall. Earrings, hoodies, pins, the occasional butterfly crown, I always shop there. The one in Towson holds a special place in my heart because I find the staff so helpful without being pushy and they always have killer music on. Its clean, organized, and I love it, despite it being one of the smaller hot topics Ive ever visited. I dont think Ill ever age out of being awesome and as long as hot topic reveres alternative culture, I will revere it.

My son loves Hot Topic. Hot Topic is a must or we are not entering a Mall. But why is this specific store special? The associates !I had extra time to spend and stepped in, to see the new merchandise. The 2 ladies were busy with unpacking new items but stopped do so, to greet and ask if I needed help. A few minutes later I had the greatest time talking to the employees who truly enjoyed working there. A job well done. I walked out with a few items and felt great about the purchase!

My ten year old is just finding out that this store exists. And now, he has a favorite place to get Fortnite and Harry Potter stuff! Very friendly cashiers, large selection of shows and niche fandoms represented, just a fun store to be in.

Review №48

Got banned and the manager wouldnt even tell me why. she said you know why I guess shes implying stealing. But I swear all I had on me were my keys and phone. I wanted to put up a fight so bad but I complied and walked out because I didnt want to cause a scene and embarrass myself. Im taking this higher up. There was even a time where I walked in looking for my friend and she saw I already had a hot topic bag and went what do you want in here because I see you already have a bag with a mean mug and nasty tone. I was literally just seeing if my friend was in there. Then her whole tone changed.

The Manager and staff are fantastic, definitely 5 stars! The only downside is that its a small store so it can be difficult to navigate and some of the body jewellery is off sized, hence the 4 stars.

Kate, Tanya. Chase, Ryan and Kayla ROCK this Hot Topic and go the extra mile searching for out of stock items. Love their Sailor Moon stock and clothing racks. Tons of edgy, goth and pop items here from Disney to Anime to Hair Potter and Star Wars. A complete LGBTQ friendly environment that has genderfluid friendly clothing
