Popular Retailer Temporarily Returning to Massachusetts
Massachusetts has felt the effects of retailers shutting down locations or completely going out of business over the past few years. Stores like Bed, Bath & Beyond, and Christmas Tree Shops are just a memory for Massachusetts shoppers. Though not completely going out of business Stop and Shop will be closing a handful of Massachusetts stores this year due to performance issues. Needless to say, it's been a rough few years for the retail industry and it's no different in the Bay State.
A Seasonal Retailer is Making a Return to Massachusetts
One retailer that will be making a temporary return to Massachusetts is the seasonal outfit Spirit Halloween. I love shopping at the store. Over the years I have purchased a number of decorations from Spirit Halloween including Friday the 13th and Halloween sound posters, Ghostbusters pathway markers, window decorations, fake blood, makeup, fake tombstones, and a few costumes. Even if you're not buying anything, it's fun to go into Spirit Halloween and browse around. The store always has something new and different each season.
