Hopefully the kitty will purr by then.^ That's interesting. At the same time, most kids are still in school. Perhaps June, July will be a different story.

We went into Hello Kitty for the first time last week. No one in the store but us. Next day we went again. Maybe two or three people besides us. So, I made it a point to go in every time we walked past the area, just curious to see what their business was like. So, we were there a for apx. 7 or 8 stops. Never saw more than a handful of people in the store. Of course, this wasn't a scientific sampling, but it sure looks like they're not doing very well.
Heck, it was even less than Lucy, if that's possible. But, as you said, they probably moved more merch than Lucy. I would think though, if what I saw is trending, that they are disappointed in results thus far.So about the same as Lucy probably but I'm guessing they've moved a lot more merch.
Oh yeah, the prices were definitely high. Revenue per sales ticket for sure.The Hello Kitty stuff is higher ticket items. It won't take a lot of sales in a day to make it worth while.

I don’t think this will be a problem. Tribute store is different from other stores, and I expect this to be similiar.I'm not in the demo for Hello Kitty merchandise, but I appreciated that it was a unique store. My concern with whatever might end up in this space and in the Prop Shop space is that we might be inching closer to the Disney approach of "every store has the same merchandise" (there are notable exceptions).
Other than flagship stores at the entrances of the parks and in CityWalk, I do sort of feel that each merchandise location should largely have merch that is only found in that spot.

People keep mentioning a bar… maybe a tribute like preview store, but instead of desserts, you get a bar?
