First Halloween HQ branches begin to open

The first Halloween HQ branches are beginning to open across the UK, with the pop-up seasonal stores heralding the start of the Halloween season at retail.

Now partnered with US retailer Party City, Halloween HQ stores are run by Creative Retail Solutions and have been bringing Halloween-focused fun to Ireland since 2012 and the rest of the UK since 2015.

The popular destination stores sell everything to do with Halloween, including home decoration products such as partyware, scene setters, spiders’ web and animated props, make-up and costume accessories as well as a wide array of fancy dress.

Halloween HQ opened over 70 temporary stores across the UK and Ireland last year.

Stores for this year’s Halloween season are already open in more than 20 locations, including Westfield Stratford, Lakeside shopping centre in Essex, Bluewater in Kent, Party Delights in Manchester, Romford, Metro Centre Newcastle and a number of key locations in Ireland, including Cork, Newry and Dublin’s Liffey Valley retail park.
