El Paso is growing and so are our local malls!

The Shoppes at Solana, formerly known as Sunland Park Mall, is welcoming a new store to their growing mall and it promises to bring a world of cuteness and charm for Hello Kitty lovers of all ages!

Sanrio, The Japanese entertainment powerhouse behind the beloved Hello Kitty character, is set to enchant shoppers with its selection of adorable merchandise because it will be opening a Hello Kitty store inside the Shoppes at Solana.

In the past, the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck has made pop-up appearances at Cielo Vista mall, but this new Hello Kitty store will be a permanent spot at the Shoppes at Solana.

From adorable stationery to trendy accessories

Hello Kitty enthusiasts will find everything they need to add a touch of kawaii to their lives. Whether you're looking for the perfect gift or simply want to indulge in some retail therapy, the Hello Kitty store is sure to capture your heart…. And maybe even your wallet. But hey, when you love something so much, money doesn’t matter!

This will be the first Hello Kitty store in El Paso

And I did some investigative research to see if this would be the first Hello Kitty store in Texas and according to their website, it is!

Hello Kitty merchandise is sold in many stores like Target, LunchBox, and Walmart, to name a few, but a stand-alone store with only Hello Kitty merchandise can only be found in California and Hawaii, according to their website’s store locator. 

Opening Date Announced:

According to online sources, the store will be opening their doors October 23rd so mark your calendars to be the first in line to do some Hello Kitty Shopping!
