    Default Spencers Store Closed – 02-26-2009,12:08 PM


    Really bummed out.

    The Spencers store in Markville mall (near Toronto,ON) has closed down. I always looked forward to the displays at halloween.

    Does anyone know if the whole company is in trouble?

    I doubt they're going under. Even in this economic downturn, people still need their whoopee cushions and gag gifts.

    WE lost our 2 spencers a few years ago. Closest one is a few hours away.
    Build it and they will come.

    I don't think Spencers is going down all the way. They have been getting alot more Freakys (it's like spencers but with add'd tattoos.) Spencers is great to look at for halloween but it cost so much who really wants to buy it?
    halloween is a super cool holiday.

    I have spoken to them recently. They are good!

    They did not tell me this, but I am assuming that just as many other companies, they may be trimming the less profitable stores in order to keep their company as a whole strong.

    Personally, I have always loved Spencer's. I bought some of my first props there.
