The Hello Kitty brand is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck has begun its 2025 U.S. tour. The truck made stops in Brandon and Tampa this January, marking its 10th anniversary, according to WFLA.
Fans in Brandon visited the truck on Saturday last week at the Brandon Exchange. The Hello Kitty Cafe Truck will be in Tampa at Westshore Plaza this Saturday, offering exclusive merchandise and sweet treats.
The Hello Kitty Cafe Truck offers a variety of items for purchase, including 50th anniversary iridescent totes, hoodies, ceramic mugs, and thermal bottles. Some of these items may become collectors' items in the future.
