Thread: Is Spencer's late or what?

Tweet

A couple of days ago my husband and I went Halloween shopping and we stopped by Spencer's to see what they had. They had nothing! I thought they always had Halloween at the same time as The Big Orange Tent (Halloween Express) But no. Am I just early this year or are they late? It didn't even look like they were going to put out Halloween stuff. Anyone seen any stuff out yet?

Spencers owns Spirit so they are either waiting for Spirit to get setup or, basically the same thing, they are letting Spirit get the inventory first and then Spencers will setup.

My Spencers had a few animatronics. (Hannibal, Crawler, etc.) No real setup though, just boxes. I think Spencers is a bit late this year, in a week or so they should have their setup done and some things on display.

Yea that's right they do don't they. Where I was shopping though (Bowling Green KY) there are no spirit stores.

Very late. I just checked in yesterday (since I work at the mall) and still nothing.

Hmmm....maybe all Spencers get held back because of any Spirits in the state. I'm sorry you don't even have a Spirit by you.

Last year, our Spencers had scaled way back on Halloween. They had a decent display but maybe a third of what they would normally put out. I think they are allowing Spirit to take over their share of the Halloween market (Spencer's owns Spirit). That said, I've heard that by mid Spetember, Spencers will start putting things out so maybe check back next week. They are usually up and running by now but this year is a different story for whatever reason.

Yep, same thing too where I live.
Nada. Zip. Very late, IMO.

So I have spoken with a manager at spencers and asked her what the deal was with the halloween stuff. She told me that the spencers corp. has been sending the halloween stuff later every year. She also said that they have been focusing on the spirit stores. Finally she said that they will have there stuff out next week.

Its the same in Canada. Quite odd.
