Hot Topic Coupon Codes and Deals 2021

Hot Topic was founded in 1988 when Orv Madden opened the first store under the name. He and his wife used the family garage to store their first stock, but soon made enough revenue to acquire a warehouse. The store shot to almost instant fame be tapping in to the local California alternative vibe, be it skaters, punks, goths or rockers. The popularity allowed them to quickly expand and by 1996 they began trading on the NASDAQ. In the year 2000 Madden was in a position to retire and under new management the online store was launched in 2001.

With over 640 locations, equity firm Sycamore Partners acquired the company in 2013 and took it back in to private ownership. Today Hot Topic makes multi millions in yearly revenue with Lisa Harper serving as CEO and Bruce Quinell as Chairman.
