Spirit Halloween To Occupy Old Safeway In Bailey's Crossroads

BAILEY'S CROSSROADS, VA — Spirit Halloween stores recently announced plans to start opening its 1,400 U.S. locations in anticipation of Halloween 2020. The company typically occupies vacant storefronts leading up to Halloween season, and this year it will be at the former Safeway location at 5801 Leesburg Pike in Bailey's Crossroads.

The opening is planned for Aug. 15, according to the company's website. Last year, it had been located in the same shopping center next to Dick's Sporting Goods.

Halloween this year will fall a bit more on the tricky side as families navigate the usual treat-filled holiday amid a global pandemic. 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 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."
