    The Owner (Patty) was very rude! Not helpful at all! Insisted that it was my Apple Pay that wasn't…read moreworking and that her systems were fine because they had been working all day, but when another woman's Apple Pay didn't work, she claimed she didn't know what was going on. Tried to embarrass me in-front of a line of people ! And didn't try to do anything to fix her system! Them proceeded to apologize that I FELT THAT WAY. I'm just another black woman being mistaken for broke I guess.

    Okay, so it's Spirit Halloween. Not a lot to be said except, it's a Halloween store that sells…read moreHalloween stuff. My review is more about the staff, in particular a woman who I found out is actually the manager. She is exceptionally unpleasant and downright rude. But even I can excuse and tolerate a Karen, because let's be honest, not like I'll be back again. It's a Halloween store, once you buy whatever Halloween junk you need, you're done for the year. The thing that drives me absolutely crazy though is when someone who is supposed to be a "manager" is standing directly in front of her business smoking. That's right. Smoking a cigarette right out in front of the doors. Not only is it gross, but we are in a pandemic. I certainly don't need you blowing all over me when I, or anyone, is entering or exiting your business. But even worse is the cigarette smoke and smell wafting throughout the store. That just tells me that this person doesn't respect her employer, and even less does she respect her customers. So to recap - she smokes in front of the doors, and she's rude. What else is there to say? I'm not sure who at Spirit Corporate hired this one, or where they plucked her from, but I'm sure they can do better. With the number of people out of work due to COVID, can't we set our sights a tad bit higher?

    Stopped week before Halloween. Girl was very helpful…read more... Great selection for boys Picked up kid's Gozilla costume at a decent price....

    An in-store visit in August; needing multiple balloons to commemorate a special day.. My experience…read morewas brutally bad. The manager seemed the most competent but why wasn't she helping customers? The store was fully staffed on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Which is surprising given that COVID-19 is still on-going and people aren't out quite as much in that area. The parking lot near them was empty and quiet. (Not the case across the lot by Trader Joe's. Which was crowded due to social distancing. They had a long line of customers waiting to get in.) Inside Party city, the employees talked amongst themselves and the "feel" is that everything is tediously slow. If a tumbleweed rolled through the store, that would be more thrilling than receiving their assistance. I needed Holy communion balloons. One cashier sent me searching down an aisle. It was ten minutes to close and had she helped me I could have been out of there faster. In any case I found two options and needed a recommendation. Something that could work and something utterly tacky. Asking employees for their opinions on balloon choice was ridiculous. One person didn't bother responding and the other asked whether it's for a girl. One of my options were pink balloons but were awfully tacky. I think if a person identifies as Catholic and a baby, they might. Hard MIGHT like that design. I got the decent one. Went back to the cashier and asked how much inflation service could cost and dude says 15 cents each. Score!** Here I'm thinking, might as well inflate 10-20 pieces given the low rate. **Moments later when the items are rung I realize he was incorrect. It's $1.20 per balloon... Seriously.. I ended up spending some $30+ dollars for balloons. Which, to any Party city employee or parent knowing how to stretch a dollar, is utterly ridiculous. The best deal is to buy a mini tank of helium which when paired with balloons is the best buy you could hope for. Having the tank means, you can make balloons for any number of parties in the future till the tank runs out. Surf reviews and you'll see a trend. When in doubt or in a pinch, try to get the store manager to help you. If management is reading this; advanced training or exercises to train staff in encountering customers is necessary. It's the basics.. the welcome greeting, how may I assist you, actively participating in aiding the customer rather than sending them in a direction. Helping customers rather than talking with their co-workers. Just recently I needed party supplies for a gathering in a nearby suburb. But because of this last visit, I just wanted a simpler shopping experience. So, I opted for a nearby city location rather than visiting here which would have been more convenient.

    Found what I needed (spirit gum) but staff was absolutely chaotic (what do you want, I suppose; a…read morebunch of teens) and I couldn't wait to get out of here! If you're too cheap to go to a haunted house, take your kids to be freaked out by all the animatronics in the middle of the store while you shop for a costume.

    SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET…read more Spirit Halloween is mostly crap--we know it, they know it. Don't mind me, just airing out my grievances against this chain of seasonal décor stores. I could start by bashing Spirit for charging insane prices, but that's too obvious. Maybe I should dog them on their unforgiving return policy, or the fact that no store ever appears in the same location twice (making it impossible to find the correct spot on Yelp). There's really no point in updating the address, since 9 months from now Spirit will take over (ahem, *possess*) whatever empty business is lying around. This store was on Army Trail Rd near Best Buy/Jo Ann Fabrics, in a shopping area called Bloomingdale Court. I visited in early October, long before the store has had a chance to get trashed by unsupervised children. The big ticket items are looking uglier and uglier, like they're straight off of Wish.com. The demented clowns and shrieking zombies look unintentionally hilarious and reek of a horsesh*t build quality. I stood inside for a solid minute, staring at (what appeared to be) a werewolf-type monster, thinking "what IS this, and why does its growling sound like a broken Nutribulllet??" Many of their products often malfunction, get returned, and wind up back on the shelves. This is especially true with electronics like fog machines or the motion-activated spider, as there's no easy way to repair shoddy wiring. Over the years, I've seen scores of 'open box' discounts that I've been wise enough to avoid. DO NOT buy anything with moving parts from Spirit. A plastic 5ft poseable skeleton was a whopping $100! For that price, you can probably get a REAL skeleton (just ask the props department from the movie Poltergeist ^). The exact same item at Home Depot was only $30; Spirit, care to explain why your stuff is TRIPLE the cost of a competitor? One thing that didn't suck: a set of Ghostbusters window clings ($10) that includes a terror dog, Gozor, the ghost librarian, Ectomobile, Slimer, and the Stay Puft marshmallow man. Also a decent purchase was a ouija board doormat ($21) that was discounted 20% thanks to a mail offer. They had a lot of doormat designs--Stranger Things, Hocus Pocus, Harry Potter, Buffy, etc. The guy at checkout was cool, but his pleasant attitude couldn't mask all the junk surrounding him. Only shop here if you've got a sizeable coupon, and even then be smart about your purchase--odds are good you won't be getting a refund. * TL;DR * To say that Spirit's products are cheap Chinese knockoffs is an affront to China and an insult to cheap knockoffs. Every year in early August, these stores pop up like warts on a mutant's ass, claiming abandoned storefronts to peddle their oft-broken and overpriced wares. By 10/31, the shelves are cluttered with returns marked "15% off due to wires not working", and by November 3rd Spirit has packed up whatever garbage didn't sell and vanishes into the night. Not unlike visiting the apple orchard, dragging these guys on Yelp has become a yearly tradition. I love October, but I hate Spirit for their price gouging practices on bottom-tier merchandise. All stores are virtually the same, and all of them are equally loathsome. ^ yes, they used actual human remains in the climactic scene with JoBeth Williams' character from 1982's Poltergeist. Don't waste your time with the 2015 remake, stick with the original, and remember that at the tail end of the movie those hyper-realistic skeletons bobbing around in the pool were living, breathing people at one point...now that's freakin' scary! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

    I rarely ever review things but my experience was so irritating I have to leave a review. Ordered…read morean adult Ghostbusters costume online for pickup the next day. I arrive for pick up and call. They tell me they cancelled my order and didn't have ny size. It was a one size fits all, but okay. Then they tell me they are sold out when I ask about other options. Okay, fair enough its the day before Halloween. The next morning I check online it shows they still have 2. Before ordering I call to ask, explaining That I had tried to purchase a costume yesterday but when I came for pick up I was told they were sold out. He took a moment to look and said they had one left, nd I asked if you they could hold it. He said there were no holds during Halloween and I could order it on line. I explained when I tried that they put my order back. He said I could order on on line but it would mess up their inventory. At this point its ridiculous, But because I'm desperate to take pictures with my one year old during a year when we haven't been able to do anything I decide to just try to run in, thankfully his grandmother could watch him. I arrive and inquire about the costume and its at the register, great! But wait! This costume is $10 more than the one on line because its for a woman ( totally not the employees fault but eff you corporate) I get to the car and pull it out to take a look, and it's a plus size costume, it should be medium. WTF. So I spend $10 more for costume that won't fit me, and that I can't return, after having to go to the store twice. Im going to wash and dry hoping it shrinks but Jesus Christ Halloween City thanks for making this whole experience suck. Fix your effing inventory, stop charging more for womans costumes, and if your manager fucks up have them use some common sense to make it right. 0 stars if I could. The girl who checked me out was very nice. The guy who I spoke on the phone with wouldn't acknowledge me.
