If you're in the Stockton area, this location is definitely worth a visit. This Hot Topic location is a chill, relaxed store with excellent service, and a pretty expansive selection in terms of clothing, jewelry, and accessories. If you or someone you know is entering the world of alternative/goth/emo/pastel fashion, or even loves y2k fashion, by all means give Hot Topic a visit. There are also some good quality novelty shirts here that would make a great gift. Hot Topic used to be reserved for the darker aesthetics of fashion - these days they have really expanded their horizons to include some of the fresher, up-n-coming aesthetics out there at the moment. As far as pricing goes, it is bordering on "pricy" but you're getting a pretty good value on their products. I've had nothing but good experiences with Hot Topic fashion and accessories, and the quality is really great. Many of the items come in multi-packs so especially with their deals you're getting a few different colors/styles. Good quality stuff that lasts a long time. A lot of my alternative wardrobe and costume pieces are from HT and they all still look really new and fresh. Plus, they have inclusive sizing! This is a great place for any plus-size folks looking for good quality alt fashion that flatter all body types. This location also has exceptional customer service. The associate Tonen was incredibly kind, funny, and helpful in my quest to find oddly specific merch. His sense of humor and cheerful demeanor made my day. I could tell by the vibe of this store that the employees who work here are pleasant, fun, and hardworking people. I have found that enthusiasm is a rarity with many mall-specific stores these days, so it was very refreshing to receive such friendly service. Altogether, if you're in Stockton mall-ratting about - do give this store a visit. It's worth the experience alone. read more

The staff there were so so friendly and helpful, they were talking to me about some of the stuff I was looking for and if it wasn't in stock they recommended me other places to go to see if it was there too. Very kind and they loved talking about the different shows, will definitely be going back! read more

I feel this place is prejudice against "fluffy" people. They never have my size, even on new designs. Everytime I've ever asked about my size I'm told "try on-line that's usually where we sell larger sizes" so basically us "fluffy" people won't ever find stuff we can take home the same day from the store. Even the store itself isn't set up for "fluffy" folks to walk through. That's unfortunate because my wife has a credit card from Hot Topic and she will never use it because of the unfairness. read more

The staff are super friendly! Nikos helped me find some pins that I thought everyone was out of so I was so excited and relieved they had them! read more

This service here at hot topic is rude and they don't even pick up the phone they hang up on us in the value of the prices are outrageous Don't call here. read more

Today I went in to the store and was greeted by a young man named josh he was every helpful he let me know what type of promotions we're going on in the store I am a dc fan and we had a conversation and he let me know that today was Batman day he seemed like a cool kid I will definitely be back because of him read more

Won't customer service ever. Waited in line outside for 45mins. Got in the store no one helped me. Found what I wanted. Wad taken outside waited in line again for 30mins. Was taken back inside and told to wait in line again. Guy ant the cash wrap told me he couldn't take my money so I left. Never shopping there again would rather go out of town to a better location for better service. read more

Always come here with my daughter everyone is super friendly and helpful. Just one is kind of obvious she doesn't like her job and I see she tries to make you feel dumb when you have questions so she seems impatient lol not sure her name but she has pink her fade haircut maybe a manager not sure but other than that everyone is great! read more

I come to Hot Topic because, I have three children who love to shop here. For myslef I like checking out the different types of shirts they have to offer. Today I came in to see what they have in stock. Seems to me Hot Topic will carry a certain item for so long. Then it's pretty much out of stock. I walked around and took a look at everything. I took photos of clothes and hats and other stuff and sent the pics to all three of my children. They chose what they liked, so I'll be making one more trip here probably this weekend. I don't really like just buying them stuff when I'm by myself. I enjoy it very much shopping with them. This place has a lot of different things for all types of crowds. My eldest Princess she's more into the shirts that'll have a band logo on it. My Son is like the Marvel and DC Comics super hero shirts. My youngest Princess loves the anime and videogames types of shirts. So there's something here for all three of them. Hot Topic pretty much has the latest trends. From shirts to posters and gauges for your ears and music. Sweaters , belts and much more. Most of us been to a Hot Topic and maybe some of us haven't. But if you feel like rocking a Stone Temple Pilots shirt or a Rage Against the Machine shirt. Ahh the good ole days, when music was beautiful :) They'll probably have it here. I was looking for a TooL shirt today. For those who don't know Tool is a hella cool band. :) So yeah I'll be definitely coming back. Vincent D *VD * Enjoying the simple things in life. read more

See all

Cynthia, the manager is running a really great team. I'm not really the target customer. I'm older and they were all so helpful and kind. She is a real leader with the wonderful staff. Literally every single person. I came for an online order, but ended up buying a lot more. I hope corporate reads this and does something for her and her team! read more

Hot Topic is my favorite store for shopping so it deserves my 4 star. I love the selections of their "hot topic" clothing. I mostly collect their jackets and sweaters. Everything else is okay like the anime shirts. Best place to collect your pop figures. Other than that, this is your typical hot topic store. Workers are friendly and greets at door. Definitely my go to store whenever I am in any mall. read more

Hot Topic - Women's Clothing Near Me - Stockton, California

After UPS lost my hot topic online order, I was trying to track down the items for my daughter's birthday this weekend. I decided to check this location since it was the closest mall to my work and I could go pick things up in my lunch break. I called 10am right when they opened and luckily they had one of the items that was in my lost order. The girl who helped me on the phone was nice and professional. She put the item on hold for me. I also found another item that I had not seen at other locations. The parking lot to this mall is very narrow. But this hot topic location was convenient for easy in and out for my quick item pick up. read more

I'm "too old" to shop here but I do anyway. Yeah I'm the 30-something that commits the unforgivable fashion faux pas of dressing 20 years too young. Oh effing well. Anyway, I was in here once with my son and Metallica was playing, and I heard some kids say "that's some hella old shit, my parents listen to that!" and I wanted to slap em. Ok, well I like this place...sure its small..and I like how the salespeople don't bug me. I hate the ones that keep asking if you need help. I know its a requirement but seriously...I don't like that. I found a nice backpack for my son here and some buttons to stick on it for a good price. My son ain't getting no Walmart special for back to school! read more

I just wanted to say that Emma was amazing! I have not been to the store in years and she literally showed me around the whole store and explained the merchandise for me. She is sweet and was a great communicator. Hot Topic was completely different than what I was used to before but Emma was very patient with me and helped me find super cute items. I highly recommend that when you decide to shop here ask for Emma! read more

Im into this so I can do this~ lets hope the staff doesn't start spouting the word "poser" its a pretty cool spot, always a check stop at the mall, the place cleaned up to clearer from as tight as the pants they sell as from before, The stuff is a little more mainstream for my tastes, you really have to look a little more harder to find more darker stuff as opposed to what they sold before, the sales people are pretty mellow (they can get you to buy stuff or kick your ass out with their eyes if they want) it's a pretty cool spot. wish they had things that other stores didn't have, read more

All though the items this store carries are awesome, their policies of customer service are unheard of. Its a week before Christmas and I had been informed I had to wait in a line nearly out the door for online orders, as there was no separate line. Ok fine. Thats fair. Once I was to the front, the clerk looked my orders up and told me to proceed to the side. Another gentleman brought my orders out and opened each one up to verify contents. I told him I needed to return one and he told me I had to get in that LONG line again!!! I did because I had no choice. After all that, they couldn't return it because I paid through Paypal originally. WOW. read more

small and lame. might as well go to pleasanton or sacramento if you want to by these low quality items. it's the same crap at each one. i hate hot topic. (oh, and the people that work there are rarely friendly, simply because they don't stay long enough to become friends with the customer! the manager is constantly firing people, and rarely gives them warning) read more

I absolutely love Hot Topic. I Love the anime collection they carry. They have great Disney theme items that come in. The themes are always so sassy and clever. However, I am obsessed with "Nightmare before Christmas" collection. The stores reward system is super cool. I love getting $5 off for the points that add up and the $15 off coupon. I hope this store stays. read more

Hot Topic is a cool store with a wide variety of pop culture items that you'd have a hard time finding anywhere else, along with a selection of what I guess would be considered goth and hard rock/death metal stuff. I just stopped in this week after not having been there in years and immediately noticed the remodel. The store is more open and "breathable", does not look like Hell's gift shop as much as it used to. Less spiked dog collars for sale, too. The ambient music is still loud and unpleasant, in my opinion (to each their own), the beat going against the body's natural rhythm, so I could only handle a few minutes inside. But I did buy a couple things. The staff was unique-looking and friendly. read more

They have neat item there...love sailor moon t-shirt,game of thrones, & the Disney's clothes! My daughter love the Disney stuff there. But some shirt are overprice like one t-shirt is $20.00! I rather wait until top goes on sale. They never say Hi to me sometime cos I don't dress like them, & I'm a regular. Anyways one time I had a bad experience there,when these two teenage customer who walk in at the same time as me through the door, and the alarm with off! Right when I was leaving the worker came to ask to check my bag cos I have a big bag at the time, it was embarrassing and people was looking at me like I stole something! I told the worker it wasn't me, it was those two girls I told him....but he seem to not believe me. After he check me, he let me go cos I didn't steal anything, I'm in my 30's and I have kids...I was so upset and end up not shopping there for a while! Thanks for embarrassing me Hot topic! read more
