MIDDLETOWN, NJ — Spooky season is right around the corner, folks.

And a Spirit Halloween is planned to open in the former Rite Aid at 200 Wilson Avenue in Port Monmouth, the company revealed.

There's also a Spirit Halloween opening in the former Bed, Bath & Beyond in Aberdeen and one is opening this August at the former Holmdel Barnes & Noble, too.

As of right now, there are 45 Spirit Halloween stores planned to open in New Jersey this fall, said a Spirit Halloween spokeswoman. Spirit Halloween's real estate strategy is to "ideally look for temporary 3 MONTH leases that include a kick-out clause (should the landlord secure a permanent deal by June)," 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. 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."
