9 Spirit Halloween stores come to the Kansas City area

The store finds vacant retail spaces and signs temporary leases to set up shop leading up to Halloween — but locations can change each year.

Spirits’ lore

Let’s pull the mask off and learn more. Spirit Halloween finds temporary leases and moves into retail spaces that would otherwise be vacant.

The chain is owned by Spencer Gifts LLC, you know, that quirky novelty store from the mall.

Local shops
