The day has finally come: Spirit Halloween is officially open in Duluth. This year, the store is located inside the Miller Hill Mall.

Before you roll your eyes, this is when the stores start popping up everywhere. It might be August but it is not too early to start celebrating Halloween.

I can't lie - I had been checking Spirit Halloween's website pretty much everyday since July to see when our store would be opening. I just love Halloween!

In fact, even in June I was researching when and where it would open if at all, especially because the vacant storefront it usually pops up in was filled this year!

Now, our Northland location is open. I went to the mall to see it with my own eyes and sure enough, the lights are on and the inside is ready to roll.

However, there was a few hour delay in the opening due to delivery, according to a sign out front. The store was supposed to open at 10 a.m. but postponed opening until about 1 p.m.

This year, Spirit Halloween is located near the JCPenney end of the mall. It replaces what was formerly rue21 until the company closed all locations nationwide earlier this year.

It's right across from Five Below and sandwiched between Sew With Me and Beyond the Barn. I know where I will be every single day after work. Ha!
