America is getting its first-ever One Piece store, and the opening date has been revealed!

The City of Angels is set to welcome America's first-ever One Piece specialty store, with an opening date revealed for November 6. The Mugiwara Store will be located inside downtown Los Angeles' Westfield Century City shopping mall, conveniently situated on Santa Monica Boulevard near Beverly Hills.

This exciting news comes after visa issues forced the cancellation of two Umamusume concerts that were originally planned to be the franchise's first musical performances in the United States. Fans of the Straw Hat Pirates need not worry, though, as the new store will be well-stocked with a diverse range of One Piece merchandise.

The selection will include exclusive items not available in Japan, such as apparel with a California license plate motif, a surfer version of Chopper, and a special message "I love LA" featuring the Op-Op Fruit in place of a heart. Notably, the Surfer Chopper design is a unique creation for the Los Angeles store and will also be featured in an interactive in-store experience complete with audio messages for visitors to listen to.
