Spirit Halloween Already Takes Over Store This Summer in Buffalo

We're one month into summer. We still have two months of summer left, but for many people, summer is done by Labor Day Weekend.

The temperatures are in the 80's right now but they will eventually turn to the 50's and 60's, which means fall and Halloween will be upon us. Buffalo is a perfect part of the country for fall weather.

We still have three months before Halloween is even here, but that has never stopped Spirit Halloween from putting up banners on storefronts before. They're famous for getting ahead of the game for Halloween, although the third week of July is about as early as we can remember Spirit Halloween starting.

Mike Doyle of WIVB Weather tweeted this photo, which is at the Seneca Plaza off Ridge Road in West Seneca. It's between Super Cuts and Planet Fitness...a new Spirit Halloween location.

Spirit Halloween sells anything Halloween, from costumes to decorations. They don't have permanent storefronts, instead opting to take over a building for several months, which likely saves on rent cost. They're a holiday-themed store, so it makes business sense to operate things the way they do. They also have an online store.

My wife is a huge Halloween fan. October is her favorite month of the year and she always goes all out for Halloween decorations, candy and movies: Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown are her personal favorites.

How early is too early for Halloween, though? Is mid-July too early for Spirit Halloween and fall decorations?
