Spirit Halloween Store Opening In White Marsh

NOTTINGHAM, MD — Halloween this year will fall a bit more on the tricky side as families in Perry Hall navigate the usual treat-filled holiday amid a global pandemic.

Whether the coronavirus allows for the traditional door-to-door candy crawl or leads to another type of improvised treat hunt, no virus can steal the simple joy of dressing up in costume.

To that end, Spirit Halloween stores will still be there to help with costumes and decorations that range from creepy to charming. Each store sells costumes, Halloween décor, and accessories for children, teens and adults.

The company recently announced it plans to open its seasonal shops in 1,400 U.S. locations, including in Nottingham.

Spirit Halloween plans to open in the former A.C. Moore store in The Avenue at White Marsh, 8115 Honeygo Boulevard.

The world’s largest specialty Halloween retailer also is calling for people across America to apply for the many seasonal positions. Each year, the company employs 28,000 seasonal workers.

“We are less than a month away from our first store openings, and Spirit Halloween is on time and ready to go. We are excited to start welcoming our seasonal team members for Halloween 2020,” Steven Silverstein, Spirit Halloween CEO, said in a news release. “It's been a challenging year, but a Saturday Halloween provides a great escape. We need Halloween now, more than ever.”
