OK, so you survived the tornado. Lucky duck. (Glad you're OK.) Let's talk about the best Halloween costume stores in Dallas.
Now that things are calming down again, this is just a friendly reminder that Halloween is THIS Thursday. Time to get your costume nailed down.
Even if you have a costume, there's a good chance you're still waiting on that final decision from your master-procrastinator kid(s).
(It's been in the works since May or June, zigzagging left and right through changes of mind that are great to have when you're a kid.)
Whatever it is that has you needing a last-minute Halloween costume in Dallas, we've got your back.
Dallas is a city that has anything you need, whenever you need it. You just need to know where to look.
So here are Halloween Emporium's top suggestions for last-minute Halloween costume stores in Dallas, TX.
Amazon
OK, OK, Amazon isn't a store.
Or is it? With same-day or almost-as-fast delivery (even faster if you're a Prime member), and Amazon pickup lockers at seemingly every Dallas-area 7-11 and Whole Foods, you can browse Amazon's vast selection of Halloween costumes and have your costume ready for pickup somewhere convenient in hours. (Or by tomorrow at the latest.)
Check out their vast selection of Halloween costumes for kids, costumes for adults, costumes for couples, costumes for pets, and everything in between from the convenience of your computer or mobile device.
You can have a great Halloween costume locked in and ready for pickup on your way home from work tomorrow.
Spirit Halloween
What's that store that showed up nearby around the end of August in your local strip mall? Maybe it's Spirit Halloween, one of the cleverest business models imaginable.
Not many folks in Dallas are shopping for Halloween costumes during the rest of the year, so these "smart stores" apparate out of nowhere a month-plus before the big night, then are gone like Dracula at sunrise while the candy wrappers are still blowing around the parking lot.
More importantly, Spirit Halloween does one thing and one thing only, and they do it well: Halloween costumes. (Well, other high-quality Halloween supplies too.
Find a Spirit Halloween near you in Dallas and load up in one shot on Halloween costumes for you and the family, plus other Halloween essentials.
Party City
It's not just for birthday parties. Party City is a seasonal chameleon, and around this time of year it's a full-fledged Halloween retail werewolf in a catch-all party emporium's clothing.
They've got a great selection of costumes, not to mention Halloween candy, decorations and (you guessed it) everything to host an epic Halloween party.
Target
Target may be the easiest local stop for Halloween costumes in Dallas. If you're near downtown or just in the general Southeast direction, you're never far from Target Cityplace.
And the mega-retailer has local-institution outposts in Preston Hollow, Irving, Bluffview, and - as you probably know - seemingly everywhere else.
Despite the inevitable crowds, Target may be Dallas's best "brick and mortar" one-stop-Halloween shop. Especially for last-minute Halloween costumes.
