    Huh, didn't know Spencer's and Spirit Halloween (and Christmas? Never heard/seen that store) were owned by the same group. Honestly, didn't even know Spencer's was still around.

    Spencer Spirit Holdings’ portfolio includes Spencer’s, Spirit Halloween and Spirit Christmas, while Hot Topic’s portfolio includes its namesake brand, BoxLunch and Her Universe. The combined company will have over 3,000 stores across North America.

      Christmas is still in a slow roll out/testing phase. There's like six stores in IL in the Chicago area and that might have been part of the pilot, it's expanded but not nearly as widely as Halloween

    How much does that number vary depending on if you count Spirit stores in October vs say, July? :p
