Nope. I've lived here over 10 years and always had to travel to find Halloween merchandise so you can imagine my enthusiasm when I saw a Spirit Store was coming.
And to make matters worse, I know I'm the reason that dang thing is here. Last year my husband and I went to the usual store (2 hours away) and I finally met the owner. She owns 3 stores and we talked for almost 2 hours about Halloween and Spirit Stores. I told her she should open one here and she had never even thought of it because the population is less than 40,000 and it's the Bible Belt and people are against Halloween, blah, blah, blah.
But we convinced her that she would be the only game in town and she actually started to love the idea. Anyhow, long story short, I gave her my name and number and told her I was interested in managing a store here this year and she said she'd seriously look into it and she'd call me if she decided to do it. Fast forward to now and the guy she actually hired "fell" into it because she couldn't find anyone else that was willing to work 80 hours a week until it opened. HELLO!!!!!???? *points at self*
I'm thinking she misplaced my number or something cause I know that she knows I would have been soooo much better at this than the asshat that she has there now.
*sigh* Oh well, it's all for the best. They weren't going to carry some of the props I want anyways and that means I couldn't hide them in the ceiling (that's a shout-out to the forum member that did that. LOL!), and so I wouldn't get them at 1/2 off after Halloween anyways.
