Spirit Halloween Opens Oswego Store

OSWEGO, IL — Attention, those who love all things Halloween. Spirit Halloween has moved into Oswego ahead of this Halloween season.

The go-to store for Halloween goods is already open in the former PetCo, 3066 Route 34.

Spirit Halloween's real estate strategy is to "ideally look for temporary three-month leases that include a kick-out clause," the company said here on their website.

"Since Spirit locations open on or about September 1 and remain open through November 1, our ideal lease would run from mid July through mid-November," continued the company. "We like to locate our stores in power centers, strip centers, free-standing stores, major downtown retail locations and in major malls surrounded by a national retailer mix. Our aim is to set up in communities that have 1) a population of approximately 35,000+, 2) living within a 3-5 mile radius, and 3) with a car count of at least 25,000 cars per day."

A total of 50 Spirit Halloween stores will open across Illinois. The entire list, including all 1,500 stores they plan to open this fall nationwide, is on the company's website.
