One thing to remember is that half of the store is Betty Boop....unless they decide to change that too. BB seems to do decent business though. But they do have other BB locations in the resort, if they close that down.

One hand, it is a shame because my wife *loves* Hello Kitty. We got some great vids/pics in the store and at the meet-and-greet outside. We even "rope-dropped" the meet-and -greet twice. 
On the other hand, not sure if we ever, ever saw anyone else in there. Makes sense.

Yes, we rarely saw anyone in the Hello Kitty area and we stopped there often, though usually to see the Betty Boop side of the store that always had significantly more traffic than the desertedOne hand, it is a shame because my wife *loves* Hello Kitty.

Hello Kitty side.
I bet HK becomes Vector's Villian Market (and Meet and Greet). Or something like that. The Prop Shop/Photo plot could be Mario.
I still think the Legacy Store in CW is the best place for an EU Preview Center.

I don't hate that, it would tie the area together (provided they do something with the look of the soundstages)
The Legacy Store is filled with too much cool stuff. Would be tragic for it all to go back into storage.
I agree, I still haven't even seen it in person. Seems weird to put all that effort into opening that store only to close it a couple years later.
As for Hello Kitty, I still miss the Lucy tribute lol.
I’d make peace with Legacy Store leaving.
Reminder - Hello Kitty does not take up that entire building. Just somethin' to marinate on.
seems odd to me. The store is never open during HHN, but we were there last night and the shop still appears to be Hello Kitty -- the merch in the store (that we could see through the window) was HK as were the displays in the windows.
absolutely! It was just traumatic to my wife and daughter -- first, my daughter wanted to go to the dress shop at the CO-OP in Disney springs -- we get there and the shop is gone -- my daughter looked so lost -- then I saw this news -- next day my wife tells me she wants to get a stay and scream ticket to get in early enough to go to the HK store, I told her it was gone -- we go the HHN and they still see it there (closed as always during HHN) -- so I got a mouthful from both of them :yikes:
I think it is time to retire from the theme park world, too bad the real world has lost its mind!
There are things you don't joke about, Brian...
The Hello Kitty Store at Universal Studios Florida closes
UPDATE 12/5: Good news; Bad News: So it seems Hello Kitty's time isn't up just yet. The section reopened with a new floor. From what we understand, this section is still planning to close in due time. With that said, we jumped the gun and wanted to make sure we updated the article. The Hello

Kind of expected with how dead the store has been since it's opening....What's popular in another country/culture doesn't always translate to success here. I believe Disney had the same problem with Duffy?,The Hello Kitty Store at Universal Studios Florida closes
