Spirit Halloween stores will pop up in GA soon. Here’s when and where
There are a few ways to know that fall is on the way but none are as culturally significant as the return of Spirit Halloween stores. Okay, there may be others, but the spooky-themed pop-up up store is definitely one of the most hotly anticipated, and the time has arrived.
As a chip off the Spencer Gifts block, Spirit Halloween has been around since the early 1980s. It has since evolved from a novelty costume shop into an annual phenomenon, and marks the official, unofficial start of fall.
It has inspired endless memes, a feature length movie and endless jokes about abandoned strip malls and the death of the retail store.
The wait is over, folks. It’s officially time to buy polyester costumes in a bag, animatronic ghouls, and all the fake cobwebs you can manage.
