Spirit Halloween Opens Store In Batavia Ahead Of Spooky Season

BATAVIA, IL — With the month of all things spooky still some weeks away, Spirit Halloween is getting ready for the season.

Spirit Halloween, known as the world’s largest specialty Halloween retailer, will open 56 stores in Illinois, including one in Batavia.

Most Spirit stores pop up annually in empty retail buildings. In Batavia, it opened in September at 81 N. Randall Road, the former XSport Fitness.

The location is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.

"Our fans count down the days until Jack the Reaper appears and our doors open," said Spirit Halloween's CEO Steven Silverstein. "For many Halloween fans, visiting Spirit has become an annual tradition and the unofficial start of the season. We take great pride in being part of that tradition, while continuing to create new reasons to be excited each year. From our immersive in store experience and industry-leading animatronics to exclusive costumes and one-of-a-kind decor, there's something for every Halloween fan to discover."
