the store is called Spirit Halloween…not spirit of halloween.And it’s about time they opened one here….get your money ready they have everything you could want.
A Halloween specialty shop is also opening in the former Nancy’s Candies spot at Lakeside Plaza in Salem.
Thanks for catching that for us! It has been updated.
I won’t go there myself.
First, it’s a temporary store, they come to town, take our money and leave. Nothing stays in the community.
Second, their stuff is overpriced.
Third, people who do go there tear the costumes up…costumes are thrown all over the floor.
I have been going to Fun Times Party Warehouse in Salem for a number of years. They have costumes year round along with better prices. They also monitor what people do with the costumes so you won’t find them all over the floor.
They have a huge selection and I think we should support our local stores.
When did Nancy’s Candies close??
Fun Times in Salem has been around forever and it has better quality costumes at better prices.
Nancy’s closed in April, Chris. Nancy herself commented about it here: http://blogs.roanoke.com/fridgemagnet/2012/05/asian-market-in-roanoke-closes/#comment-37108. The stores in Floyd and Meadows of Dan are still open, according to their Web site.
The HALLOWEEN STORE AT LAKESIDE PLAZA IS PLANNING ON STAYING OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND AS A SEASONAL ITEMS RETAIL STORE…I’VE BEEN THERE TWICE AND PRICES ARE CHEAPER AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS GREAT!!!
