Kids can’t even dress up and go trick-or-treating at night yet, and Spirit Halloween is already getting ready for the holiday.
This pop-up retail chain reliably pops up in hundreds of vacant storefronts across the country each year, selling spooky home decor, costumes, and towering outdoor animatronic decorations. But the chain, owned by Spencer Gift, who opened its first pop-up store in the Bay Area in 1983, will be around a little longer this year.
The company has revealed plans to soon open 10 Spirit Christmas stores across the North East.
“Find thousands of stocking stuffers, holiday apparel, fun gifts, unique decorations, and all the special decorations to create an unforgettable Christmas,” Spirit Christmas touts on its official webpage .
Where is Spirit Christmas Store located?
Spirit Christmas will soon take over strip centers and malls in New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, some of which are already hosting Spirit Halloween.
