MANAHAWKIN, NJ — It may still be summer, but it's never too early to start thinking about the spooky season. Spirit Halloween has officially opened its Manahawkin store.

The Halloween store is located in the former Five Below at 601 Washington Ave., Unit N-1.

Last year, it was inside the former Bed Bath & Beyond. However, that space is occupied now, as The Picklr will be opening up an indoor pickleball club at this location. Read more: Indoor Pickleball Club To Open Location In Manahawkin
