I hear Ted Cruz is in Cancun all winter..

I love watching where Spirit will pop up every year. My current town is big enough for a spirit, my hometown is too small for one.

They used to be my client at my former job, they most certainly don't start looking that early, they are doing it while moving in.

That explains why Spencer’s is still around

The one in my town used to be in an empty storefront next to a graveyard.Sadly it caught fire a few years ago and was never repaired :/

I love the Google office takeover! https://www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/article/san-francisco-google-offices-prank-halloween-16474211.php

That's the spirit! Never say DIE!!!

It's all made in China though.

My son works there, his first job. He loves it.

Podcast by Cracked Alum & Jeopardy champ, Alex Schmidt called Secretly Incredibly Fascinating. He did an episode about their business model

Thanks for this, I’ve been missing the cracked podcast since it went off during Covid. Any idea where I can find Jason Pargin?
Sven1137
He's popping in as a guest once in awhile, I think he's working more on his writing (see: Zoey Punches The Future in The Dick)

I always thought they should pivot to "Christmas Spirit" and extend through December.
Monkeynutsjoe
Hell, they could start with "Thanksgiving Spirit" even.

Fuck it, 365 Days Spirit.
oldguyexlurker
They did. I'm not sure how the experiment turned out, and they used separate locations (weird) but they did start a Christmas temp store.
oldguyexlurker
Source: I did their Spirit sign installs for 6 years in Arizona and one of the last years also a couple Christmas stores.
Snaggley
How do they find people to work for only a month. Do they have high pay because I can't imagine people are lining up for short term inretail
SuperPickle17
Clearly for the 25% employee discount.

I know someone who just collects unemployment after they close. Probably on 10 years now.
SoSorryImNotEvenCanadian
No they're BS-ing you. In WA for example you have to work at least 34, full, part-time, weeks to get unemployment

Spirit of Halloween is open for maybe 8
ThatKidWhoYoyos
Really? Spencer's owns Spirit? How long has that been a thing?

They used to be the go-to mask place in the 80s and then kind of lost their way with boomer fart novelties and edible underwear.

I'd say that "always" fits very well then.

i want to know how i can get a job scouting locations for them
J0765
Find all the suitable locations and rent them. Then send sprint your list of demands.
itsallaboutthecones
It's one guy scouting for the whole country. To replace him, you have to find him first then ritualistically kill him to assume his spot.

Wait I got it! What if we had a Halloween store that was only open in January?!

"Homer, I told you a hundred times, you've got to sell your pumpkin futures before Halloween. Before!"

That’s so dumb I wouldn’t be surprised if a dog came up with that idea.

What’s next? A website that tells you what time it is right now? And let me guess, you’ll want to make a movie based on it next?

Nah I'm making a sex robot for my girlfriend. I'm going to call him Henry Fondle.
