Spirit Halloween stores cost $10-50k to set up and operate for just two months a year. Three locations, each 10,000 sq ft, can generate around $1 million in revenue during the Halloween season, making them far cheaper to launch than traditional retail.
You said you tried to buy a Spirit Halloween. Basically, we tried to buy it because we saw it was $600,000, 3 or 4 retail locations, plus whatever last year's inventory was. The wild part about Spirit and Halloween Express, they have the same model, which is like every store is 10,000 square feet. The average retail store costs millions to throw up and takes months. And Spirit or Halloween Express costs maybe $10,000 to $50,000 to throw up and is up in days or weeks. So how much would a business like that make? So 3 locations, they're open for 2 months a year, they would bring in $1 million.
