During the pandemic, a lot of big retail businesses had to shut down, leaving these buildings unused. Even though recent times have been hard on companies and businesses, it seems that seasonal markets are doing great, temporarily filling these forgotten stores with goods for Halloween. Their idea behind this is to lease the premises for the holiday season and then once it’s over, move out and carry the business further online.

The Tumblr thread mentioned one of the most well-known Halloween stores, Spirit Halloween. Leasing empty retail spaces for a short period of time helps them to get their business going. This is also useful to landlords who find it difficult to find long-term tenants and keep the property profitable. According to Marisa Uzzolino, who is the Spirit Halloween associate manager, people are ready to spend money on Halloween festivities as they get this one opportunity in a year to become whoever they want to be and this is not something they want to miss.
