Spirit Halloween to Open 1,500 Stores in 2025

Spirit Halloween plans to open over 1,500 pop-up stores across North America in 2025, with early openings in August in states such as Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and New York. The retailer specializes in short-term leases for recently vacated spaces, including former Macy’s and Bed Bath & Beyond locations, leveraging the current wave of retail closures for affordable sites. Store locations and opening dates vary by region and are announced on the company’s website, with some sites already displaying signage and hiring staff. U.S. consumers are expected to spend over $11 billion on Halloween, making it a highly profitable season for Spirit Halloween, especially through high-margin costume sales. The company’s presence is a hallmark of the Halloween season, though specific store locations may change year to year depending on space availability. Spirit operates year-round to prepare for its annual seasonal surge.
