“Explore the Store” is ICv2’s series of feature articles that showcase the layout, inventory, and decor of local stores across the United States. For this article, ICv2 visited the Too Cool store in Orland Square Mall located at 564 Orland Square Dr, Orland Park, IL 60462 on November 3, 2022. This is the first time we have visited this anime merchandise retailer.
Too Cool is a Northern Illinois chain that specializes in merchandise tied to anime and other pop culture properties from brands like Bandai, Nintendo, Good Smile Company, Kakao Entertainment, and Sanrio. We found eight Too Cool locations scattered throughout various malls in Northern Illinois, including one in the heavily-visited Gurnee Mills mall near Six Flags Great America. The inventory at the Orland Square location mainly consisted of Japanese-branded models and plush toys, but there are a few other non-Japanese collectibles like Funko Pop! figures and Beanie Babies.
