‘There’s nothing temporary about a temporary store’: How Spirit Halloween’s CEO took it from 130 stores to 1,550—and swallowed your mall’s Hot Topic
Every year after Halloween, Spirit Halloween’s stores empty out and the signs come down. To shoppers, the chain disappears, until next September or so, when another store pops up somewhere in the neighborhood.
AI Summary
Spirit Halloween’s storefronts close after Halloween, with signs removed and the locations empty. The chain then reopens in the same spots around September, giving the impression of a temporary presence. CEO Steven Silverstein says the business never truly shuts down, describing it as “24/7, 365 Halloween.” He emphasizes that the brand operates continuously, even when the physical stores are not open.
