They have some good things in the two years since one opened near me. They probably get the 2nd most of my money behind Home Depot. I am hoping for a new gargoyle this year. Both years they started putting stuff out at the end of May or the start of June and expanded over the next month or so.

 

At home store has been great with the life sizes over the last two years I bet they can get greater again like the last two years I would love to see svi life sizes and pan Asian creations and gemmy together for at home

 

They do a preview? I didn't know that.

 

It was shown on may 1st last year on their Instagram page

 

I've picked up a couple of things from them over the past 2 or 3 years, so I'll check them out again this year. The closest store is almost 30 miles away.

 

I got a membership survey today. Looks like they're looking to revamp their reward system. I chose program 1 as my first choice mainly because of the free ship-to-home (their rewards program before, I was only in it for the 20% off coupon. Legit didn't use anything else).

Far too often there would be a Halloween item in stock on the website but local inventory says 0 and I go to the store and they have like 7 on the shelf.
Like c'mon companies, if you want your seasonal merch to MOVE you gotta have a robust and accurate BOPIS/inventory system. People can't spend money if they don't know they can get it. People are not going to go out of their way to do a lookie loo unless they live directly in the line of driving near your store. Your stores are HUGE and in weird locations. Your inventory doesn't change like say HomeGoods/TJMaxx/Marshalls which differs weekly (which are often grouped together on the same plaza sometimes with a Burlington or Ross so people feel like they get their "out of the way" trip's worth when they can hit up 3 stores within walking distance of the parking lot).

 

I could get onboard Program #1. I think that's my choice, also. And, yes - please, please, please 🙏 have accurate inventory on your site. It works both ways - I also don't want to drive to pick something up that it says you have 12 of, but can't be found.

 

This was sent to me and is not my post…I think it is from FB but I am not sure. This is how it was sent to me.

 

How interesting is that I thought at home store would leave it until June but it should be amazing to see it out earlier than expected

 

Wow! Who would have thunk it. I'm all about it.

 

Same here I can't wait to see pictures

 

My store always stocks early. Looks like its time to start fabricating fake errands that all result in my driving by there frequently ha ha ha! (throws the calendar in the corner and grabs the keys...)

 

Halloween in April/May, seriously, come on. As much as I love Halloween, I don't want to see anything in the stores this early. This means we'll start seeing Christmas **** in June then.

I do see your point however I like to try to budget month by month so for me it’s helpful when stores put their Halloween stuff out at different times.

 

Yep, At Home or Big Lots would usually be the earliest to put stuff out (not including the Home Depot early sales).

I do agree. At Home would start Halloween in May then by July they'd move it back a couple aisles for Christmas. Not exaggerating that either.

 

It is wrong to have Halloween out this early (but if they do, some of it will invariably follow me home, especially if there are any of those blasted houses UGH!) but Christmas in July is also messed up. It is so wrong to be fa la la la laing in shorts and a tank top!

Last year, one of the At Home employees told me they got Halloween and Christmas in simultaneously and were told to get it all on the shelves. Their response was "Where?" It was pretty funny honesty because there was literally nowhere to have both holidays fully out together although I did my part to clear some shelves! The real question is if the Big Lots stores that are on the list to reopen will open before Halloween stocking time (provided they still have a big Halloween offering).

 

My local At Home was already moving Halloween out of the way during the first week of October to start stocking a little bit more fall harvest but primarily christmas.
The Christmas display was fully set up by November 3rd.

Usually it was always a waiting game waiting for summer furniture to clearance so it'd move to make way for Halloween. Having trouble imagining Halloween taking space like that already.

 

Athome store did say in a post that Halloween is going to be a year round thing going forward

 

I wonder if at the start it will be Halloween (for easy marketing) but then pivot more towards 'the modern witch' gothy decor year-round? Like what Michael's was considering doing before the whole....tariff & tariff adjacent situation.

I stopped at my store on the way home and no Halloween. Thought it wouldn't hurt since I have to pass by it home anyway and I too live in Ohio.

 

Anybody seen anything in their local store

 

Has anybody seen anything in their local store

 

Not this past weekend. Except for the dragon on the ball in the Garden Statue area.

 

Seems way early even for At Home, but their site shows the items from FB post as available in 'select stores'. What I know for sure is that my local store got ravaged within a week. I was lucky to drop in not long after shelves were fully stocked last year and went back to get what I knew I should've picked up and a lot was gone. :-(

 

Yes, to buy their skeleton ground breaker I had to go to a store that was three hours away from me. You had to be very determined and very quick to get the good stuff, at least in my area.

 

At home have started to update the site for Halloween saying summerween is around the corner

 

At home store has updated the Facebook page saying that there is going to be a whole week of spooky content

 

When?

 

 

I'm pumped! I live close to an At Home . Great Halloween selections every year.

 

Groundbreaker is currently in stock to ship. Crow post isn't.

 

I went to their website and I show the skeleton ground breaker out of stock. Perhaps it’s for my area?

 

At home store has updated the Facebook page with a sneak peak of the 2025 collection

 

If you change your zipcode to Dallas, Texas (their headquarters) it shows pickup available for the dragon statue and crow lamp. Ostie is showing out of stock for them too BUT it does toggle an email notification and the ability to change the zip code on the product page.

versus what it looks like in my local ohio zip code

 

Also for anyone wanting to track their import statistics due to tariffs: https://www.importyeti.com/company/at-home-procurement

Unsure if they're going to have a smaller collection of halloween this year or if they can send some POs to India (like how a ton of HomeGoods stuff is) since it's a 10% rate until July 8th.
