July is coming to a close, which means summer is almost over and Oklahomans will soon be getting ready for Halloween. And the opening of Spirit Halloween signals that the spooky season will be here soon.

After Independence Day, stores instantly began putting Halloween decorations on shelves. And big stores like Home Depot and Lowe's started dropping hints about when their gigantic Halloween displays will hit store floors.

But Spirit Halloween has kept a tight lip on the exact date when stores will open across the United States. Early this summer, posters started popping up in abandoned buildings around the country advertising that Spirit Halloween is coming soon and seeking applicants for employees.

The national Halloween store usually opens its stores at the end of the summer. And for an exact date for local stores can often be determined after Spirit Halloween announces the grand opening of its flagship store in New Jersey.

Earlier this week, Spirit Halloween announced that its flagship store would host its grand opening for 2024 on August 1.

When will Spirit Halloween open?

Now that we have a date for the grand opening of the flagship store, Oklahomans can start getting ready for their local Spirit Halloween stores to open. In a press release about the Spirit Halloween flagship store grand opening, opening dates for stores across the United States will be updated on the official website's store locator after August 1.
