One Piece Store in Los Angeles Sets November 6 Opening
A permanent store marks the franchise moving from a convention pop-up, the Mugiwara Store at Anime Expo 2024, into a year-round retail fixture in Los Angeles.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
The One Piece Mugiwara Store Los Angeles opens November 6 at the Westfield Century City shopping center. From November 6 to 12, entry is limited to guests with advance reservations, which begin October 22. After November 12 the store opens to the public, though walk-in entry depends on capacity and a standby line is not guaranteed. Merchandise includes shirts, hoodies, mugs, figures, clear cards, key chains, and wrapping cloth. Prices are not announced.
The reservation window is the part to watch. Between November 6 and 12, the store admits only guests who booked ahead, and booking starts October 22. Those reservations will decide how the first week goes.
After November 12, the doors are open to everyone, with a caveat: staff say walk-in guests may be accommodated based on store capacity, and entry through the standby line is not guaranteed. The Westfield Century City location was announced in July, and Toei Animation previously brought the Mugiwara Store to Anime Expo 2024 as a pop-up inside its booth.
