Bandai Namco are planning to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the One Piece anime with a pop-up store in Camden from 26th April to June 2nd.
From the Press Release:
Come and spend time in the One Piece world as Bandai Namco Cross Store Camden gives visitors a chance to experience the world of pirates and adventures. Celebrate Luffy’s birthday with gifts consisting of a Luffy birthday card and Luffy stickers when making purchases of £30 plus.
First aired in 1999, One Piece tells the story of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew. Accompanied by his faithful companions, his ambition is to become the King of the Pirates and find the One Piece, the mythical hidden treasure of Gol D. Roger. It’s a story where the theme of friendship is central, we see the characters grow and become better versions of themselves. The Straw Hat Crew manage to overcome all the difficulties, while remaining united and of course, they don't forget to have fun along the way!
“The collaboration between Bandai Namco Amusement Europe and Toei Animation Europe to have One Piece animation series at Bandai Namco Cross Store Camden is natural, as we have our very own ONE PIECE CARD GAME Official Shop in store,” said Rob Cook, Locations Based Operations Director, Bandai Namco Amusement Europe said. “We know the brand very well and we’re delighted to host One Piece animation series 25th birthday with a very special pop-up, as there’s such a huge fanbase for the licence. Happy Birthday, Luffy!”
