Business operations

During the Halloween season, Spirit has over 1,100 store locations in the United States and Canada. The Spirit Halloween website is open year-round, offering its in-store products online. The store carries decor manufactured by Tekky Toys, Gemmy and Yu Jia. Many decorations are exclusive to Spirit.

The retailer typically makes use of vacant retail space. The stores typically operate for 60 to 90 days, opening sometime in early to mid-September and usually closing two or three days after Halloween.

Spirit of Children

In 2006, Spirit launched a program called Spirit of Children to raise money in-store for children's hospitals. The program annually celebrates Halloween at hospital locations, supplying costumes and decorations for the events. Since 2007, Spirit of Children has raised over $29 million in donations.^[3]
