Sprit Halloween is expanding it’s new store, Spirit Christmas, to over 30 locations across the country beginning in December. According to Spirit CEO Peter Merchant, the company plans to build off the popularity of it’s pop-up Halloween stores.
“Consumers love our hands-on Halloween stores where we turn unused retail backroom space into retail backroom space full of cheaply made costumes and decorations,” Merchant said. “We’re planning on bringing that same sketchy experience to Christmas shoppers.”
Interactive Stores!
Walking into a Spirit Christmas store, shoppers will be welcomed by The North Pole Rabid Reindeer Petting Zoo, where kids can touch Santa’s whimsically diseased venison. For families wanting a more action-packed experience, take a ride in Santa’s Sleigh Slay. In this virtual reality bloodbath, families shoot the meth heads who are trying to steal Santa’s presents as he makes his deliveries in “the bad part of town.”
