It’s the little pink truck that keeps on truckin’ — to the delight of fans.
The Hello Kitty Cafe is making the rounds on her 2021 West Coast tour, with plans to roll through the Bay Area from now through July 10.
The winsome whiskered one and her sweet snack van will park at four shopping centers for socially distanced sales of collectibles and treats. Staffers will be wearing masks and gloves, and sanitation rules will be enforced, according to Kitty’s team. All transactions must be via credit or debit card; no cash will change paws, er, hands.
For the uninitiated, all you need to know about this ultra-popular Sanrio creation is that fans young and old find this cafe on wheels and Kitty’s offerings absolutely adorable. New products include a Hello Kitty T-shirt and a Rainbow Thermos in two sizes. They’ll join the lineup of best sellers that includes bow-shaped water bottles, cookies, mugs, plush toys and enamel pins.
Here’s the schedule:
Walnut Creek: This Saturday, June 12, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Broadway Plaza in the Event Plaza near Macy’s
San Francisco: Saturday, June 19, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Stonestown Galleria near the Olive Garden
