My daughter loves this store. It can be a bit pricey on the items up front, but they have awesome t-shirts and accessories. Which is what we usually shop for.

More teenage friendly version of Spencers, I think my daughter is turning Goth... which is better than EMO I guess.

Great store!! This is one of the nicest Hot Topic locations in the Tampa Bay area!! Everything is very well organized and fully stocked! Clean store with very awesome friendly staff! Lots of cool collectables sold here! They had stuff that other locations were sold out of. A very pleasant shopping experience!

I like hot topic. The shirts are cool and as a Funko collector, they have some neat Hot Topic exclusives. However, it takes 10 minutes to check out by the time you are done saying no to all the promotions! I get you have sales, promotions and an email group, but i just want to pay for my damn Deadpool Funko and leave!

Daughter and I went in with food from food court. Were asked to leave food outside. We said no problem and had great conversation with friendly store rep. Sadly, he said others had been threatening about no open food policy. People, please remember store employees are just trying to do their job!

Covid minded not in a bad way. My grand daughter loved it. I also got something for me.

I would really rate this store a BIG FAT ZERO. I walk into the store and am told I need a mask, I explain I am medically cleared. Bobby the manager told me he doesn’t care and if I don’t put a mask on I need to leave the store. I try to explain and show him our county mandates. He then tells me this store is a privately owned store and they don’t have to follow the mandate and denies me entrance. Bobby was very rude

Friendly salesperson and lots of trendy clothes and accessories to choose from. If you are looking to buy something for the tween, teen, or young adult in your life and kinda dont know where to start, here is your store. Never been in this store until my teenager introduced me to it 2 years ago and have found many great gifts for her and others.

Ive been going to Hot Topic for over a decade now, and I have to say the Westshore location is always the best. The staff is super friendly and sociable; always an absolute joy to interact with and are very attentive to needs, and super helpful in finding great promotions. The store itself is well organized. As anyone who works with clothing can tell you, its all too frequent for things to not be folded and misplaced with other size apparel, but somehow here its never a problem! Im always able to find the style and size of shirt Im looking for quickly and easily. Its somewhere Ill always swing by on my trip to Westshore Mall.

Anime merch and etc

Always great little gems from your favorite shows and video games. The only issue I have is that the store is PACKED so full of stuff its not only hard to get around without bumping into things, there is so much merchandise crammed into the small space that youre never sure if they just didnt have what you were looking for or if you missed it in the massive amount of products on display.I do love Hot Topic but it is on the claustrophobic side, so its difficult to spend much time inside.

I have been to many Hot Topic stores but the staff at this one goes out of their way to help you. I appreciate this in any business I spend money in.

Review №24

I like how theyve been carrying more vinyl, and some good stuff too! You know what they got, and chances are they are probably having a sale right now! If I see one, I always go in and check it out

This store is desperate for money. Both of the other area stores I called were fine with giving us the buy 2 get 1 free deal for both Harry Potter and Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise as mix and match but the chain lost our business totally because when attempting to buy 1 HP item and 2NBC items priced at $50 each they refused to honor the deal. We walked out and left without buying more than $300 (including expected discounts) in merchandise! I gave feedback here but how many customers left without spending a dime that couldnt be bothered to let you know?!? It is simply lost revenue and lost customers...

This place has the best clothes to shop from, if you band merchandise they have it, if you collect POP! Figures they have those as well. Just anything cool you can think of they have it for you in store.

I spent about 8 minutes in this store. I was the only customer. There were two associates. They were having a conversation when I walked in, they never stopped their conversation to even say hello let alone ask if I needed help. I was prepared to buy what i came for but because of the lack of service, I gladly left empty handed.
