Sanrio

Perhaps you read my review about the nightmare Sanrio store at Eastridge, which has an employee who will practically strip-​search you with her creepy eyes as you peruse the HK goods.
There’s anything and everything Hello Kitty… it’s funny how Sanrio brands the name and the image. My favorites are the pens (office supply things), the accessories and the bags.
This store is the polar opposite. Pleasant, inviting, good deals and GRAB BAGS with some pretty awesome loot! My daughter usually gets the office supply items and a grab bag.
Service is pleasant and best of all, I never felt like I was being watched like the other store in SJ.
This Sanrio is a little hard to find –they really tucked it away. But I consider it a hidden treasure and we’ll always stop by when we’re at the Outlets!!!

Went here to look for my grand-daughter’s birthday gifts. This store had lots of choices and the prices ere equally wonderful, however the best part of this place was the staff who was as grandmother who helped me find perfect gifs for my granddaughter.
So glad this shop is in my community

LOVE Sanrio!
I was upset when they closed down for a bit but they ended up opening again to a different location at the outlets around December 2012. I’m so glad they’re still here!
I’m quite a regular and one of the ladies that work there know me by now and always helps me. Unfortunately she moved or got transferred to a different sanrio or something. I always end up getting something here even if I just stop by to browse or if I’m specifically looking for something I saw online (which they may or might not have since they are not in conjunction with the website). It is a smaller store now than before but they still have great stuff

Being almost 45 yo I thought I have outgrown all the Sanrio stuff. I was a very young girl when it first came out. Fast forward many years and an 8yo daughter later, I find myself going to this place more often now that my baby girl have become obsessed with HKs. This store in particular is fully stocked with stuff priced very well. My only beef about most of the Sanrio stuff these days are made in China. Back in the days they were only made in Japan… u can see the difference in quality.

I’m so sad. I came here today, to find that the store location is now a BareMinerals. No signs posted about Sanrio moving to another building and after walking around it looks as though this outlet store is now closed. I also tried calling the store several times, but only got a busy signal. :(

The was a lot of staff ready to help customers.
However, the items were still overpriced for an «outlet» location.
They did have a large selection of items.
The location is rather small.

Looove this store! I always make it a point to come visit when I go to Bay area! I’m glad we went last March because I heard it is closed now: (

I remember back in the day when my mom would take me here and we’d fill a basket of goodies for me and my cousins. Sadly those times have changed for three reasons
1. My mom doesn’t come to the outlets with me as often as she should since she says the outlet sales aren’t as they used to be.
2. Sanrio is no longer 50% off the entire store — such a bummer.
3. The quality of Sanrio on general is not what it used to be – durable.
Luckily I foundy tooth brush cup in the sale section a few days before I got my acceptance letters. I think it came out to be about $ 4. Pretty cheap considering this is probably now a scared and lucky cup that only I will use.
Btw, do YOU use a toothbrush cup?

What girl doesn’t love Hello Kitty?! This outlet store has some decent deals, but I’m not too crazy about their customer service at all.
Their merchandise is ok. But, don’t expect to find most of the items that you see at a regular Sanrio. They do however have a few new collections, but they don’t carry all of them.
I wish they carried more keychains and jewelry. But, the selection they did have was ok. They had a pretty good selection of calendars and stationery stuff. Lots of pens, pencils, and erasers as well.
I only ended up buying 2 HK drawstring bags that cost me about $ 10 and some change with an additional 10% off included. So, that was a pretty good deal. However, other employees were having personal conversations, while customers were present and it took the cashier a while before she even noticed me standing there.
Overall, this location is alright. But, because of the poor customer service, I prefer the Vacaville outlet store, but I will always love the regular Sanrio in downtown SF!

The discounts and sales aren’t as amazing as they use to be, but it’s still a great place to find Sanrio goodies on discount. I think they switched owners/​organizations so the product and sales are completely different. Again, like most outlet stores, the stock is a hit or a miss. Back in the day you could find items that were originally $ 150 for $ 20, but not so anymore. However, I was still able to find interesting items like a h. naoto bag for 50% of the original US retail price and I bought an amazing 35^th anniversary clock for MORE than 50% off the original retail price. These happy memories still keep me coming for more.

So my homeboy took me here, gushing over the discounts and all the things he’d purchased over the years; however, he was disappointed to find that the discounts weren’t at all what he remembered, but that this location was basically just an average Sanrio store with some small bargains. Minor discounts and some old stuff, like the HKNY line that came out in ’05, and that wasn’t even really discounted. The discounted items I DID get were Sanrio charms (mostly not-​Hello Kitty were available), which were marked down from $ 5/​ea to $ 1.75/ea. I’d gotten a Sanrio charm bracelet years ago and then hadn’t wanted to drop $ 15 on adorning it, so I was pretty stoked on the charms… only the fasteners don’t fit on the links of the bracelet! Dammit!
Overall, I wouldn’t make the effort again to make a special stop/​detour for this store.

6÷13÷11
If I had a daughter I would go crazy here… I guess I already do as it is with my nieces… but I really like the fact that this place has current items for a discount… It’s just a shame that I live so far away and it’s only when I’m up in NorCal do I ever get to stop by… every discount helps… considering Sanrio items aren’t cheap!
I just remember going a few years ago and they had much bigger discounts though…

Every girl loves Hello Kitty. But more than that, Every girl loves a good steal on Hello Kitty! The store is often 50% off and though their selection isn’t as wide as other Sanrio’s, you just can’t beat the price. It’s a «purr-​fect» place to take a little girl.

I went on a Monday around 1pm and I got the store to myself. There are a lot of hello kitty stuff at a discounted price. The store is pretty clean considering I’m the only shopper. I found a really cute hello kitty air freshener for $ 7 when they are $ 14.99 at a regular sanrio store.
The store carry hello kitty totes, backpacks, pencil holders, notepads, bit of clothing, iPhone cases, laptop sleeves, watches, earrings, you name it!

This used to be my regular stop between home and the drive back to LA. Reason being I’m a total HK freak and everything was at least 50% off! I used to buy anything and everything from pots to bathroom rugs to pretty much anything I could get my hand on.
Went back there a couple of yrs ago, no more 50% off! I think everything was 30% off, boo, but I could deal with that…
Went back there last night to see if I could dig up some awesome finds, big fail! The entire store is now filled mainly with stationaries and stuffed toys., what about us big kids?! Also the sales girl told me the prices were as marked, I turned the package over and guess what, a whole 50cents discount!
Oh boy, maybe it’s the economy, maybe I should just grow up… Definitely a fail.,

ok this place is crazy, every time i go in there is always something new and exiting. Just got my car pimped out with hello kitty stuff. this place rocks.^_^
I love Sanrio.

Everything here is cheap as crap and I’m just talking about the price. The quality of the goods is top-​notch. Everything you see here is half the price of the Sanrios anywhere else. So why pay more for the same thing ?
I came here with my girlfriend just to check around and we ended mobbing the place because everything was cheap and affordable. I actually bought myself a super soft Hello Kitty that looks like Stewie Griffen from Family Guy. Same Outfit and football head haha.
Needs gifts for girly ass girls and for little kids? BOOYA ! Sanrio in Gilroy Outlet.

three letters.
OMG.
WTF.
ILY.
FTW.
LML.
(ok, really fifteen)
:]
i LA LA LA LOVE THIS PLACE :] :] :]
not only do they have a variety of regular hello kitty merchandise, they also have MOMOBERRY! (for you, non beverly hill go-​ers this means hella discount on beyond pricey hello kitty goods) and LUXE (expensive new york hello kitty couture in times square). like really? things priced two hundred or more bucks discounted to twenty dollars.
with that said, i left the store wanting more– but i did get away with a momoberry bikini and bottoms just in time for summer, a momoberry pencil, hello kitty nail polish for like thirty bucks :] sure this place is in the middle of nothing (no offense my gilroy-​ians) and we did have to take the long way home from frisco for this place, but it was all worth it– i wonder if jason agrees?
ohwells. go hello kitty!
;D

Oh God, I used to be in love with this store. Everything 50% off? HOW DO I SPEND $ 200 HERE ON PENCILS AND CRAP? SERIOUSLY!!!
They got stingier and now it’s only 30% off everything in the store, but still, a discount is a discount. I’ve bought so many random things here, from hello kitty light up fans, to hello kitty self inflating balloons, to hello kitty magic candy.
Some of the weird items get sent here and I’ve squandered so much money here over the years.

Finally! Sanrio is smart enough to revive some of the classic Sanrio characters in the ‘90s. It’s such a relieve to see Keroppi (my favorite!) and Badtz Maru again. Hello Kitty needs to go away since she takes over the entire Sanrio store.
Regardless, I couldn’t resist the Keroppi items!!! The Keroppi gym bag and tote bag were way too cute! I saw the exact same tote bag at the Sanrio store at Newpark Mall. Luckily the tote bag was on sale at the outlet store with approximately $ 10 off the ticketed price. Yes! Bag added to the shopping basket.
There was another bag that I wanted that was another Sanrio character, but I resisted. Go me!
Bought some other stuff, and left the store a happy camper. I felt like an elementary student again.
The back of the receipt is cute since it has Hello Kitty’s head in a diagonal line.
