Hello! I just went to the Oak Park Mall in Olathe Kansas, right next to Kansas City. I must say it was a wonderful experience. I will be telling you about all the stores and stands I went too and what I liked and disliked about them. For reference I did not go to all the stores in this mall only the one me and my friend at interest in.
The Lego Store ~ When I first entered the store, I thought oh this will not be fun it is small, and everything will be too expensive. Boy, was I wrong! Although I did not buy anything as I am a poor college student planning other things to do. I enjoyed looking around with my friend! There were many sets from Star Wars to Kid TV Shows. Also, I would avoid the things with eyes they look shady…
Hot Topic ~ This one I was excited for along with a few of the other stores. This had some good T shirts which was what I wanted to look at. If I remember correctly, there was some Solo Leveling and The Blue Haired girl, and I think a couple loli’s if you like that stuff. There was also some really, really amazing pants! Like I have been looking for these types of pants everywhere and could not find them. Also my friend loves the skirts and I highly recommend them because she was slaying and got a lot of compliments. I do not recommend the Jewlery though I heard from a few places it brakes easily, even if it is cool.
Spencer’s ~ OOooo, I’ve never been here before. This was awkward for me… Like when I went in, I forgot an important detail. The back of the store is not for kids. Anyways that would probably be good for those items, but I was not looking into those things. Though the collars were pretty cool, I would have invested in one If I had somewhere I could wear it without it feeling like the wrong time. The T’s were also nice, but I kinda forgot what was on most of them because I didn’t buy any. it might be a good shop if you are going to a concert of some sort.
Boba Smoothie Stand (IDK the name) ~ Can’t provide a link or image for this one. I personally was not a fan. The menu was small, and they had 4 different things to add to your smoothie. There was Strawberry, pineapple, jelly, and one more. I had a smoothie with the jelly… Don’t try that unless you like fruit cups mixed with a smoothie. Yeahhhh on to the next one!
Attic Salt ~ This one was nice. I don’t know what I expected, but it was not what I got. I went in and the first thing I saw was a set of earrings the consisted of one peach and one eggplant. My mind may be in the gutter, but… I don’t know where I was going with that.
Anyways there was also a lot of hello kitty
things which were cute.
BoxLunch ~ I have been here once before kind of. Like, I went to a BoxLunch closer to home. This is a store I love! The have a lot of little things like back packs, jewelry, clothing, figures, and cute stuffies. The last thing I bought from there was a Naruto sweatshirt, which I still love wearing. Although these are not the cheapest items that you could buy. Oh, and the items that I said before are not limiting to what they have. There are also many novelty items I would say. It is worth checking out if you have one near you or even if you need somewhere to travel too.
FYE ~ This place is a lot like BoxLunch in a since. They have similar items; they also look very different in person. I did buy something from this shop, which is Moochie… I think I spelled it right. There was also a lot more figures. I even saw one of those twins where one has pink hair and the other blue. Lastly There was a little bit of manga!
20th Century Legends ~ I don’t remember what was here, but if I ever go again, I’ll post about it.
Go! Calendars, Go! Games, Go! Toys ~ This is exactly like the name describes. I would say what they sale mainly falls under the kid’s toys category. I just walked in and out almost, so yeah.
Lush ~ I can feel my eyes watering just looking at the name lol. Now, I have not the best eyes for places like this. This was a nice place either way. If I took baths more often I would have bought some of the bombs. I mean who doesn’t want a toaster to go in the bath!
The Retro Zone ~ This one was interesting. It had a lot of board games and comics. There were also those little figures with the big heads and then a nice size selection of manga. If this is the store I was thinking of than it has a little, little bit of witchcraft books and maybe games. I’m not a witchy person.
Barnes & Noble ~ Oh. I saved this for last on my trip to the mall. I literally avoided spending money to spend it here. This is a book shop, and I did end up getting a membership even though I do not live near one. I love this, it is two stories of books you can buy. I think there is anything you could want to read. I spent a good pinnie on most of a set of books, which I will post my thoughts about in the future. They have a 30-day free return and they are super nice employees.
These are not all the stores I went to and there are definitely more than what I went to. I think this is a place to spend a whole day at. So, get there in the morning and leave in the evening. I made the mistake of not getting there until about 1:00pm. I hope this review was helpful and thank you for reading!
