There's going to be a massive Hello Kitty warehouse sale next weekend where fans can score lots of merchandise on the cheap. June 13 and 14, Sanrio fans will be able to score deals on Hello Kitty merch at Neko World's USA in Torrance. Discounts run as deep as 70 percent off on toys, accessories and more, with some newer products up to 40 percent off, Racked LA reports.
The parking is free, no strollers will be allowed, and the sale accepts both cash and credit. All sales are final. If you're curious as to the kinds of things you might be able to score, there are numerous people who post videos of their hauls online. Here are two from last year's sale.
Sanrio Inc., recently decided that they would be moving from Torrance to El Segundo, according to the Daily Breeze. Their new 29,000 square foot space is more than double their current space, and will include amenities like a coffee bar, lounge and patio for employees.
