It’s where Baby Yoda meets The Little Mermaid and seemingly every character in between.

BoxLunch, a pop culture gift store, opens today at The Empire Mall.

It’s located next to Aerie and American Eagle in the JCPenney wing.

According to a mall statement, BoxLunch offers a “thoughtfully curated selection of officially licensed apparel, accessories, collectibles, beauty, home goods and gifts and novelty merchandise for everyone from the most dedicated fan to the more casual pop culture enthusiast.”

There’s a lot to take in here, from kid-friendly merchandise to collectibles.

You’ll find plenty of Disney, Marvel, Star Wars and Pokemon items, along with holiday-themed merchandise and apparel for men, women and children.

And with every $10 spent in the store, BoxLunch will help provide a meal to a person in need through its partnership with Feeding America.

For the grand-opening weekend, the first 50 guests at the store’s opening on Saturday and Sunday will get a mystery gift card for up to $100.

There also will be in-store giveaways, all-day raffles and a DJ from noon to 4 p.m. both days.
