In this segment, the speaker explains an attempted acquisition of Spirit Halloween, noting that the company (and its sister brand Halloween Express) operates a low‑cost, rapid‑deployment pop‑up retail model. Each store is roughly 10,000 sq ft and can be built for $10,000–$50,000 in days or weeks, far cheaper and faster than traditional retail locations that cost millions and take months to open. Using this model, the speaker estimates that three seasonal locations operating for two months each could generate about $1 million in revenue, illustrating the high profitability potential of the seasonal pop‑up format.

You said you tried to buy Spirit Halloween. Basically, we tried to buy it because we saw it was $600,000 for 3 or 4 retail locations plus whatever last year's inventory was. And then 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 open for 2 months a year, they would bring in $1 million.
