SHORT PUMP, Va. -- The Hello Kitty Cafe Truck drew crowds when it returned to Short Pump Town Center on Saturday.
The iconic all-pink Hello Kitty Cafe truck is on the road for its 2025 U.S. tour, celebrating two significant milestones: Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary and the truck's 10th anniversary.
Some fans waited over five hours to get their hands on brand-new treats and limited-edition merchandise.
"We have 10th-anniversary key chains and pins. It's the 10th anniversary of the truck driving around the East Coast, Central and the West Coast," Alec Hundley, a cafe representative, explained.
Hello Kitty fans Diana and Kevin Estrada had this advice: "make sure you buy everything you want" and "be here early" because of the long line.
"All of these people want the same thing. They want their Hello Kitty," Kevin Estrada said.
The Hello Kitty Cafe Truckwill continue its East Coast tour with a stop in Tysons Corner on Saturday, March 22.
