Studio Ghibli is opening its first U.S. pop-up retail store, “Donguri Republic,” with plans for a limited run in the Los Angeles area. Multiple outlets report that the store is opening on June 23 and will operate through Dec. 31, spanning roughly six months. One report says the location is in Los Angeles, while another specifies Torrance, California, indicating the store is set to open in a Los Angeles-area community. The store is branded as an official Donguri Republic outlet associated with Studio Ghibli’s merchandise and characters. The announcement positions the pop-up as Ghibli’s first such official retail presence in the United States, though it is limited in duration rather than a permanent shop. No additional details are provided in the cited summaries about product range, staffing, or opening-day events.
