Do you remember the Joann Fabric on South Hulen Street? What about Aldi on McCart Avenue? Those retail spaces have something in common — they’ve all gotten dressed up as Spirit Halloween stores.

The seasonal chain has converted 14+ vacant retail spaces in Panther City into Spirit Halloween stores, including:

  • 1101 Melbourne Rd., Ste. 4020 (former Forever 21)
  • 435 Sherry Ln (former Party City)
  • 7612 Denton Hwy., Ste. 404, Watauga (former Party City)
  • 108 College Park Dr., Ste. 108 Weatherford (former Big Lots)
