After unsuccessfully making a costume purchase at Halloween City across the street, I was hoping for a better result here. They still got their regular party related items like party cups, plate, utensil and balloons...etc, they also got a section in the back corner for Halloween theme items.
I initially walked straight to the back wall and find a small section of masks and costumes. Surprisingly, they do have a section dedicated to the circus theme. Wow! I hit the jackpot I thought. However, the selection turned out to be just "Clown" section. Yes, I can only find clown costumes and that's about it. But I really don't want to be a clown this year....I think my fear of clowns may have something to do with it
Then I started walking toward the wall on the left side, and I found a wall full of pictures of costumes with the item number. This actually made the purchase very simple! All you have to do is go through the pictures of costumes on the wall, pick out the one you like, tell the store staff the item number of the costume you want, and you can pick it up in the back. Also, you get to go into the fitting room and try it out for size.
Luckily, I did manage to find a costume I like, and it's not a clown. Cant tell you what I got because I don't want to ruin the surprise. But I appreciate the friendliness of the staff in this store, and how quickly I can pick up my costume and go. And, I saw a few same exact costumes they sell here cheaper than Halloween City across the street. So their price is very competitive. For items I only purchase once a year, it's a good deal. read more
