Scary costumes, spooky decorations and Halloween novelties are coming to south Fort Myers Sept. 1.
The Halloween Megastore has hired a staff of Halloween lovers who have been receiving daily shipments of ghoulish trimmings to help customers prepare for the Oct. 31 holiday.
"We started receiving merchandise early and we have it all ... we ordered every costume, every accessory," said Stephen Larosa, the general manager of the store.
"This year we expanded and have so much more that we have customers coming in and asking for items already."
Employees are still in the process of organizing the 9,000-square-foot space at the Sam's Club Plaza but Larosa doesn't think it will take long.
"We will have everything ready for customers," he said .
As staff organize, the store has some empty shelves and plenty of boxes full of merchandise yet to be delivered.
The Halloween Megastore opened for the first time in 2007 but Owner Paul Merk plans to have it open earlier this year.
Plans are also in the works for a year-round costume store for themed birthday parties, balls and occupations that require costumes.
"We want everyone to have a good time and get a costume they like," Merk said.
And, that's why Merk and Larosa are working so hard to appeal to customers of all ages and tastes.
"People love Halloween and no matter what happens or what is going on ... they still go out that night," Larosa said. "It brings a smile to their face and we love that."
The store sells children's and adults' costumes and accessories such as masks, wigs, face paints, decorations, and even swords.
They also have a complete offering of shoes and the Leg Avenue line, a more risque costume line.
"The atmosphere in the store is fun-loving, family oriented and something for all," Larosa said. "We literally have everything you can want for Halloween."
