Here’s what’s happening with the Popeyes x One Piece bento box collab right now.
-
Launch window and availability: The collaboration kicked off around April 13, 2026, with a limited-time menu and exclusive bento boxes at select Popeyes locations in the U.S. and Canada, running through May 10, 2026. Some stores offered a free limited-edition Luffy-themed bento box to early buyers, while supplies lasted. [source reporting from FoodBeast and multiple outlets in mid-April 2026][1][3][5][6]

Special items and packaging: The collab introduced a Luffy Bento Bundle and a “Luffy Bento Box” with anime-inspired packaging, plus themed drinks and a Chopper’s Cupcake dessert. Early packaging leaks and in-store sightings suggested these items were central to the promo.[3][5][7][1]
-
Locations and online merch: Six exclusive locations in major markets (e.g., NYC, Boston, Chicago, LA, Miami Beach, New Jersey) were the primary sites for the free bento box giveaways and/or first access to exclusive merchandise, with online merch drops commencing around April 15. Online items included collectible bento boxes, keychains, and T-shirts.[5][6][3]
-
Public reception: Fans lined up at many Popeyes locations to participate in the launch, and the collaboration generated significant social media attention and reseller activity for some limited items.[4][5]
If you’d like, I can pull a concise, up-to-date summary with the exact current status (whether the promotion is still running, remaining locations, and online stock) and point to the latest articles. I can also share a quick map of the six exclusive locations and a visual of the Luffy Bento Box you can reference.
