Emily Putnam with Spirit Halloween said the store in West Bend will likely open in a couple weeks. The store’s web page lists “planned to open September 3.”
The stores normally stay open through November with big sales after Halloween, October 31.
The Halloween supply store will only take up about a third of the front of the former Shopko building. This is the second year Spirit Halloween has operated out of the old Shopko, which officially closed in June 2019.
The last day for the Shopko in West Bend was April 15, 2019.
