Los Angeles is about to become a major destination for One Piece fans as the world’s largest Mugiwara Store prepares to open at Westfield Century City this fall — marking the first official One Piece retail location in the United States. For anime lovers, collectors, and longtime followers of Luffy’s crew, it’s shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest fandom events.

The store will feature exclusive in‑store merch, limited‑edition collectibles, and original artwork that can’t be found online or at conventions. Fans can expect character‑themed apparel, accessories, figure drops, and special collaboration items designed specifically for the U.S. launch. With Toei Animation backing the project, the shop is positioned to become a flagship hub for American One Piece culture.
Beyond shopping, the Mugiwara Store aims to create an immersive experience. Early previews hint at themed zones inspired by iconic locations from the series, photo‑ready installations, and rotating displays celebrating major arcs. For many fans, it will be the closest thing to stepping into the world of the Straw Hat Pirates without flying to Tokyo.
The opening also signals a broader expansion of anime retail culture in the U.S., where demand for high‑quality, official merchandise has surged alongside the global rise of anime streaming. Century City — already a hotspot for pop‑culture activations — offers the foot traffic and visibility needed to make the store a landmark destination.
As fall approaches, anticipation is building. Whether you’re hunting for rare collectibles, planning a cosplay outing, or simply wanting to experience a piece of One Piece history, the Mugiwara Store’s arrival in Los Angeles marks a milestone moment for American anime fandom.
