About
Spirit Halloween is the largest Halloween specialty retailer in North America — owned by Spencer Spirit Holdings (alongside Spencer Gifts) — operating 1,400+ temporary pop-up stores in vacant retail space across the US and Canada each fall season (typically August through November). Generating an estimated $500 million+ in annual seasonal revenue, Spirit Halloween transforms empty storefronts from closed department stores, electronics retailers, and shopping center vacancies into costume, decoration, and animatronic destinations — pioneering the temporary seasonal retail model that has been widely copied but rarely replicated at Spirit's scale.
