'Our 'Aloha Summer' campaign brings Stitch's playful spirit to life in a way that resonates with both longtime fans and newcomers alike. 'By featuring this beloved character in our mall-wide activation, we've created an activation that captures the essence of what makes Stitch's story so special - the perfect blend of adventure, mischief, and heart that appeals to visitors of all ages while embodying a summer vibe that everyone loves.'
