Halloween enthusiasts in the Quad Cities have something to celebrate this week.

Spirit Halloween Opens This Week In Davenport

This Friday, August 2nd, Spirit Halloween is set to open its doors at 1010 East Kimberly Road in Davenport, Iowa. The much-anticipated arrival marks the unofficial start of fall for many Halloween enthusiasts in the area. However, residents of Moline, Illinois, will be disappointed to learn that their city will not have a Spirit Halloween store this year.

Moline's Spirit Halloween Store Will Not Return This Year

While Davenport celebrates the return of Spirit Halloween, Moline residents will need to travel to neighboring cities or shop online to get their Halloween fix this year. The absence of a local store in Moline is a surprising change for fans who have come to rely on the seasonal retailer's presence.

The closest Spirit Halloween Store to Moline residents will be the Davenport location. The next closest store is in Peoria, which is over an hour away. Residents on the Illinois side of the Quad Cities will have to make a quick trip over the river to get their Halloween decor this year.
