Ghosts of retailers' past: See what dead stores Spirit Halloween is reviving
According to Spirit Halloween's website, the Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey-headquartered company has "more than 1,500 seasonal locations in strip centers and malls across North America." Hundreds of these incoming stores will occupy spaces previously used by retailers that have since gone bankrupt, including Big Lots, Forever 21, Joann Fabrics, Party City, Circuit City, K-Mart and Rite Aid.
Spirit's stores open at the end of the summer, while its online store is available year-round, according to the company.
USA TODAY contacted Spirit Halloween on Saturday, Aug. 2, but has not received a response.
Here are the bankrupt retailers whose spaces are being revived by Spirit Halloween.
What bankrupt retailers will have spaces revived by Spirit Halloween?
According to Spirit Halloween's location map, which shows incoming stores slated to open either in August or beyond, these are some notable bankrupt companies that will have their former spaces occupied by "the largest Halloween retailer in the country."
How to check for upcoming Spirit Halloween locations
Those looking to check whether a Spirit Halloween is opening in their area can visit the retailer's map, enter their city or postal code, and see where the nearest location is.
The company announced in June that it is seeking 50,000 seasonal employees to support more than 1,500 retail locations it expects to open this year.
