RECon2014: Halloween pop-up heads to Britain

AUDIO: One of the most eye-catching stands at RECon 2014 is giving delegates a welcome fright.

Spirit Halloween is a pop-up seasonal chain dedicated to the annual spook-fest that is huge business in America. Opening in August, and closing the day after Halloween on November 1, the chain haunts 1,100 pop-ups across the US and Canada. Sites vary from 5,000 sq ft to 40,000 sq ft.

And the UK and Ireland could be getting a visitation soon.

Spirit Halloween senior manager Rick Osborn revealed that the company has already been scouting sites in the UK and Ireland. He said: “We just haven’t pulled the trigger yet. We could be very successful in the UK. To be there would be great, we just haven’t decided yet. But there’s availability, and I could see us doing it within the next couple of years.”
