Halloween Express

We operate seasonal retail stores under the Halloween Express name, selling costumes, Halloween novelty items, decorations, party goods, makeup, and related accessories to the general public. Our stores are designed for families with young children as well as customers ages 18 to 40 who shop for Halloween and costume products. We run a short seasonal business, opening on or before September 7 and closing during the first week of November. After the season ends, unsold merchandise and store fixtures are stored until the next season. We also support store operations with product guidance, merchandising direction, training, and marketing materials.
