Spirit Halloween Store To Open In New Hyde Park

NEW HYDE PARK, NY — It's now mid-September, which means the Halloween season has arrived — at least at the more than 1,400 seasonal Spirit Halloween stores that have opened nationwide. Soon, one will open in New Hyde Park.

All the company's stores across every state sell costumes, Halloween décor, and accessories for children, teens, and adults. The store in New Hyde Park opens Friday at 1488 Union Turnpike, according to Spirit Halloween's website.

Other Spirit Halloween stores near New Hyde Park include:

• 221 Glen Cove Rd., Carle Place (opens Sept. 23)
• 300 W. Sunrise Highway, Valley Stream (now open)
• 61-09 190th St., Fresh Meadows (now open)

The store allows online shopping by theme, so customers can filter costumes by TV show or movie, among other sections. Filters are also available by size, price, or rating.

Spirit Halloween has Harley Quinn, Stitch, and fox costumes among their featured popular buys more than six weeks ahead of the Oct. 31 holiday.

Be aware of the local mask policy before entering Spirit Halloween stores or any other brick-and-mortar business, even with the coronavirus pandemic having passed its year-and-a-half mark.

While Spirit Halloween does not specifically state masks are required for vaccinated customers, all employees — vaccinated and unvaccinated — are required to wear face coverings. The store also requires face coverings for all unvaccinated customers.

Hand sanitizer stations are posted at the store's entrance, and plastic shields are mounted around the registers.
