    I rushed home from work to pick up a package that was delivered to the store. The store is supposed to close at 7. I arrived at 6:44 and the doors were all locked. Some skinny white boy looked at me and gestured that they were closed.

    Okay first off, this store is huge compared to any other hot topic store in SoCal. They have a huge amount of stuff from anime t shirts to rap to metal. I love that there is something for everyone there. My experience at this store was beyond satisfying and an enjoyable shopping day. Tony who was on the sales floor really does care about customers. He checked up on us twice and made sure we were being attended to for items that were out of reach to customers, he was not only assisting us but he was answering questions from other customers all while keeping a great attitude. Most hot topics that I go to have very rude staff. this store not so much and I only say this because there is a female worker who looks like she does not want to be there. Tony sets a great example for those who truly love working in retail! You are awesome dude!

    My family to a detour on our Hollywood tour and cake across the cool Pop culture retail store. They had literally everything and it's a little overwhelming. But me and my kiddos fixated on the shades rack and ended up buying three pair. Our family members all bought items the liked as well. The deal was buy two get one free. Very cool store. I will have to go back because it looks like they have awesome gifts for very decent prices. They also have a frequent shopper pass. I was surprised to see that my 17 year old niece had the pass and had accumulated $5 from her previous trips at her local mall. She saved it for another day though. My nephew found a really cute Brony wallet and so he replaced that last wallet he bought from there 5 years ago. Our sun glasses didn't last, but made extremely cute photo props and I do not regret buying them one bit. Great experience!!

    Staffs a little lackadaisical and I'm a little too old to be shopping there but cant deny they are a guilty pleasure. Sell cool stuff.

    The events are great! The music is always on point and the staff is friendly. Everything you could want from HT is in this one place.

    Franklin Village is such a cool little area. However, I've ignored it for years because parking is…read morea pain. Thankfully, one day I scored a spot and spent some time checking out a few places. The 30% off sign & sales rack in front of this store caught my attention, so I stopped in. The Canyon is a quaint little shop that carries apparel, home goods, and vintage clothing. It's nicely curated, which makes it easy to browse through the Boho chic pieces and vintage apparel. They also carry unique jewelry, candles, accessories, and other cool items. I didn't find anything but the gal working was friendly and attentive. Next time I'm in the area I'll stop by to see what is new.

    I rarely post like this, but this situation was so weird I kind of have to, mostly so people who…read morethink about shopping at The Canyon are aware: I was on a call pacing the sidewalk in front of this store when a woman--maybe the owner, maybe an employee, I'm not sure--came out and demanded I "take my call somewhere else," which escalated into her yelling, "nobody wants to hear your fucking conversation," and other aggressive comments, while I stared at her in shock and eventually ended my call. It was a quick interaction, maybe 5 minutes, but it left me shaking. there are so many other details of this interaction that contribute to the clear sense I have that it was all racially motivated. After I ended my call and rejoined, I walked away shocked that this woman felt so shamelessly emboldened to police my behavior on a PUBLIC sidewalk. I was embarrassed that so many people saw me get defensive in return and possibly perceived me as an aggressor. Now I am just angry the interaction overshadowed the nice day/lunch with friends/best buffalo chicken salad I had just eaten. Anyway, this store seems like it has cute stuff, but it's cuter to not be a jerk...

I brought my dress that was too small for a reference because it was just too small in my breast area. I also brought in the dress that I'm wearing to the wedding that is one size up. That's absolutely too big on me. It's a corset top dress from house of CB. I brought the smaller one as a reference, thinking it would help them. Because I requested to try that on for the woman who is tailoring the dress so she could see how it's supposed to fit... but the owner threw a tantrum and told me he would not do it. I never was treated so terribly by anyone in any establishment like this before. He snapped and threw a tantrum because I wanted to show the woman tailoring the dress. What a psychotic control freak. My sister gets all her items tailored there. She's a dancer. I walked in and was shocked how filthy that place was. I'm stunned this place has any stars. The fact the women on the phone told me to come in and they would do it same day is crazy. It took me a hour to get there they literally not only wasted my time but the man was an absolute nightmare rude control freak. I never had such a terrible experience ANYWHERE- DO NOT GO HERE .

They have a great selection. I would love to spend some time in there. As a male, I don't have a problem going into a lingerie store or adult toy store and having conversations. What do I have to be embarrassed about??? Absolutely nothing. There are plenty of other shops to enjoy. Not sure I'll be back to this one,

    A large, fun entertainment and retail complex that features well-known shops and restaurants in a…read morethree-story setting. Ovation Hollywood is formally known as Hollywood & Highland. Situated in the heart of Hollywood, this outdoor shopping and dining area is surrounded by landmarks such as The Hard Rock Cafe, the Dolby Theater--home to the annual Academy Awards--The TCL Chinese Theatre, and much more. There is a fantastic outdoor courtyard offering guests plenty of picnic-style tables, individual tables and chairs, padded seating, and umbrellas for shade. Guests can also take the stairs or ride the elevator to the higher areas of the complex for stunning views of the Hollywood sigh and the complex courtyard. Underground parking is secure and can cost up to $25.00. However, if you shop or dine at any of the businesses within the complex, discounted parking is available with a validated ticket. Remember to bring your parking ticket with you. My family and I enjoyed lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, visited a local museum, and shopped in the area. Our parking fee was only $3.00 after validation. Employees of the complex are friendly and hardworking, and security personnel conduct high-visibility patrols on foot and bikes. The entire area is relaxing and fun. My family and I plan to return here before summer 2026 comes to an end.

Generally, I think of this as a tourist spot, but have had occasions in the past when a screening or event has brought me to this venue. SO MANY dining options, Japanese cultural experiences, a cute K Skin boutique and a convenient place to park, eat, then walk a short distance to the Hollywood Bowl. It may be slightly uphill, but after the concert, the walk back is a breeze. Parking is a very fare price, and most shops & restaurants will validate 2 hours free, which make it even more affordable. We recently checked out their Center Court FIFA watch party area and it was a LOT of fun. I also felt it was safe and a good visual presence of security guards was observed. There are also easy coffee, sandwich, boba and snack kiosks for a quick bite or fun treat. This is also a great location to start the Hollywood walk of fame tour, cement handprints and local museums - in particular The Hollywood Museum, just a 1/2 block away. Of course, there's also all the Oscar allure, but I'll keep that area for the tourists to enjoy. Cheers! "CC"

They had a bunch of stuff that you could easily fit to different aesthetics depending on what you like or how you dress, i ended up getting some smaller things like a rabbit keychain and a beavis shirt, but i did score on some cooler stuff like a pair of older converse and a barcelona 2016/2017 away game jersey, the converse and the jersey were both definitely a score since both were not priced too badly, a lot of their things werent too overpriced, obviously some things are a bit more because a lot of pieces are vintage and its a store in hollywood so its expected to be a little pricier but it wasnt anything bank breaking. Staff was super cool and nice! There were two main girls working when i went who were both super kind and friendly, i think when staff are friendlier it definitely makes it easier to shop, the girl who was checking me out also gave me free discounts and was super helpful since it was my first time in this store , also for any first timers they do make you check your bag when you first walk in, they do have a sign outside thankfully but they just keep your bag just in case anyone wants to take anything but theyre super nice about it Overall great store, i dont really get how this place has bad reviews but maybe i got lucky with super sweet staff and everyone has their experiences, definitely coming back though, staff was nice, prices werent too bad and it has a big variety of different pieces
