Its pretty hot in there but what else do you expect from a place called Hot Topic.

Pretty nice people and nice store. Its just smaller and less stuff than hot topics im use to.

The prices are good bit even better when they send you coops for free stuff and a % off.

10/10 the employees were SO NICE and the cashier was so friendly. That was my first time going to hot topic and it was a good experience!

I love hot topic it is such a fun place to buy anime stuff at, the mall is in east peoria Im a weeb lol

This is my favorite store!! These people are so kindhearted.

I personally love hot topic. One of my favorite places to go to get anything anime or music related. Not to mention, the employees are always nice, and help when needed.

Super helpful and nice employees, always love to come back for new stuff

Friendly Staff on duty. Great Customer Service. Clean store. Set up Covid Restrictions were in place. Very organized.

Friendly staff and awesome merchandise!!!

Great prices on jewelry!!

The staff was wonderful and helpful! I love all the stuff I bought!!

Very limited selection of sizes.

Hot topic is the place to go to get amazing piercing jewelry. And spectacular band ts and more. Just saying if you edge or emo this is the perfect place to go to keep your edge asthetic or emo 😅

If you want a real review from someone local be sure to pay close attention to this matter and I will make you believe every word written. The ones who say that this mall is all so great! Which it was but it isnt no more. I personally have been numerous situations with being harassed by the security guards of this place and since the local news report of the huge fight that went on a while back I can assure you this isnt no flashy new stuff and walk out with bags kind of a place. If anything else I will recommend Spencers or hot topic at least those are the most common places within the mall.

Not what it use to be back in the day.. Selection has gone way down while cost has gone way up. I can find better quality of items online for a better price to be honest. Not worth it.

Hot topic, the place to go when youre in need of that Tripp pants wearing, piercing having, early 2000s nostalgia. Comes with an extra helping of angst and a dash of that sweet, sweet edge

I used to love this place. I dont care for the products they have in store now but online still has the cool stuff

Waited for assistance for over 10 minutes

This is a pretty amazing. It the ultimate pop culture destination for anyone. The prices can be high at times, but there are always sales and promotions.

That shop got the good vibes and great selection for shirts, jewelery, trinkets, DRAGONBALL items...and so much more!! Also, their clearance section is good! Many bargains and sales. Highly recommended by THIS shopper!🤘🤘🤘

This place is still just as cool and trendy as it was when I enjoyed going to the mall... Great deals/sales

The cashier was very friendly and helpful. Store was very clean for being the holiday season. Completely impressed!!

Great place to shop for the younger crowd..great clearance items and deals on certain items

These people can’t even figure out how to take a security tag off an item. Check your items before you go. They ruined my hat and I’m from out of town :/Apparently this is common because I had another store tell me they are notorious for doing that. They need to learn how to do their jobs.

Great store for pop culture and music tees and accessories. Funko exclusives go fast!

Love shopping there

Patience was great! Very nice/clean store and she was a huge help!

Very nice staff ...granddaughters loved the selections of stuff!! They cant wait to go back!!!

Such an awesome time in my life I dont have any plans for tonight but Im going to have to get a ticket and then they will get a ride with us if thats what it is I just dont have the time to go home early and the other is a are not okay with that if it was just the

We went in looking for shirts and got some

Great if youre a 12 year old suffering from first world problems. Cheap garbage if youre anyone else.

Its a good place to go if u like anime, rick and morty, and if your goth or emo u can get your wardrobe here fwi its for smaller people if u do.

Love hot topic!! It feeds my fan girl fandoms nicely! The employees are fun and friendly!

Very big store! Nothing like the cramped ones back home, super glad i stopped by

Not my kind of enviroment but its a good spot to shop and good people

I love going here, always has good sales and all the merchandise I want

Choice for Rock/geek merch est 1999.

Caught a great sale & got hot topic bucks.

It amazing it has the best clothing even though they can be pricey but it worth every penny.

I love everything in that store, the clothes and jewelry, to the small collectables

It was ok. I didnt find anything i liked but thats more me being picky then store selection. The store did seem a bit dusty tho

So many emo band shirts and anime!

A great place for all of us fan boys snd fan girls and most of the staff are friendly enough.

Love the store, great staff! Good sales

Nice clothes and other accessories.

Best shirts for SU lovers

Its my favorite store in Northwoods Mall, what can I say. Half of my clothes are from here.

Always a good time..fair prices

I like most of their jewelry, but their clothes were made for super skinny people who dont eat

Lee works there and hes hot as hell. So I go there everyday to see him work.

Its a regular hot topic store. My only complaint is that its always cramped in there but employees are always nice and they always have sales going on.

Great store

Nice store lots of weird items

The staff was ignorant to store pricing and how the sales worked. They over charged me....like wow 🙅🤦🤡

Very kind and helpful staff.

Its completely awesome for new age & trending gear!

The clothes are a little too expensive but nice store

A bit pricey but worth it it has everything from jewelry and clothing to stuffed animals and collector items I do recommend it

Nice clothes and fun employees

Good customer service!

Its straight up awesome

Best store ever.

They had the Pop I wanted!

Supposed to open at 12:00 and still waiting... management?????

The atmosphere is great

Larger than most, similar prices to most mall stores but a bit on the expensive side, the staff at the time were not at all pleasant

The sales associate took the time to help me find another shirt

Absolutely love this place
