Spirit’s August 18 release cites more than 1,550 stores for 2026. The count above is what Spirit’s store pages showed on September 23 and again on October 10. When the locator went live on July 29, it listed 1,299 locations, including 72 in Canada.
Camp Harbor Lake: Spirit’s August 18 release names the year’s in-store theme Camp Harbor Lake, an eerie, campy experience built out at select locations rather than every store, inspired by campfire tales and 80s horror. At participating stores, guests explore an abandoned cabin and meet animatronics including the Trash Bandit, Willow Witch, Whirling Wendy, and Crackles. CEO Steven Silverstein said, “Our fans count down the days until Jack the Reaper appears and our doors open. We’re thrilled to officially welcome them to Camp Harbor Lake for the 2026 season.”

Arizona is the outlier. It has 51 stores in only 22 cities, so Phoenix, Tucson and Mesa carry 22 between them. California has 201 stores spread across 138 cities.
Opening and closing dates
Almost every store closes for the season on November 2. The 39 that close on October 31 are in New York (5), Illinois, Michigan and Pennsylvania (4 each), Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts and Ohio (3 each), Connecticut, Tennessee and Virginia (2 each), and Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey and South Carolina (1 each). Of those 39, 38 reopen at the same address as Spirit Christmas on November 6, according to Spirit’s Christmas locator. Every Christmas store is in my Spirit Christmas locations guide. Store hours and the last opening dates are in our guide to when Spirit Halloween opens.
How to find your local store
Spirit’s store locator takes a ZIP code and returns the nearest locations with addresses and daily hours. Use it for the store nearest you. Use the tables above for the shape of the whole map.
How we counted
Spirit’s locator publishes a page for every store. Each carries the store’s address, phone number, and daily hours, and its data includes a planned opening date and a closing date. I read all 1,587 store pages on September 23, 2026, and again on October 10: the 1,497 U.S. stores listed in the locator’s sitemap and the 90 Canadian stores, which sit on the same locator under province pages. “Open by Sept 23” counts stores whose opening date was on or before September 23.
A handful of city names arrive from Spirit’s data with punctuation stripped, so we have restored the standard spellings, for example Winston-Salem and Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville. The first version of this page counted the 1,299 locations listed on July 29, the day the locator went live.
