The iconic all-pink Hello Kitty Cafe Truck will be making its annual return to Tysons Corner Center this weekend.
The truck is scheduled to set up at the Events Plaza at Tysons Corner Center (1961 Chain Bridge Road) from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. this Saturday, March 22.
A release from the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck said the truck is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and parent company Sanrio is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Hello Kitty character.
The truck remains a reliable draw for Tysons Corner Center, which typically gets a visit every March. On a Facebook event page for the upcoming visit, more than a hundred people have indicated that they’re planning to go, and another 659 people are interested.
A communications representative of the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck told FFXnow that customers at the cafe tend to be a mix of familiar faces and new.
“It’s a mix of both — loyal fans who visit us year after year and new faces discovering the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck for the first time,” they said. “With Hello Kitty celebrating her 50th anniversary, it’s especially heartwarming to see multiple generations of fans coming together to share their love for her as we travel across the U.S.”
The release said the cafe will feature limited-edition merch and treats this weekend, including:
- 50th Anniversary Exclusives: Iridescent totes and hoodies
- Apparel: Ringer tees and lilac tees
- Collectibles: Ceramic mugs, thermal bottles, 10th Anniversary keychains, pins, and cup ornaments
- Sweet Treats: Giant chef cookies, 5-piece macaron sets, and Madeleine cookie sets
