About BoxLunch

If you're curious like me and want to know what the heck a ' BoxLunch ' store is, you're in luck. After looking at the company's website, we learned that it's a pop culture-themed retail chain. It sells apparel, home goods, accessories, and collectibles from anime, movies, TV shows, and video games. Hot Topic actually founded it.

I'm sure you're wondering what all of this has to do with boxed lunches. Well, according to the source, the store has a "Get Some, Give Back" mission. So, for every $10 spent, they provide a meal to Feeding America.
