Then, sometime in late summer, trucks pull up, and within days that dead space bursts to life with orange banners, aisles of costumes, and grinning plastic pumpkins stacked to the ceiling. This is Spirit Halloween, a chain famous for a strange business trick: it appears out of nowhere, sells for about two months, and then vanishes as quickly as it came. By November it is gone, leaving the empty shell  \nbehind for someone else. Few stores have built an entire empire on the idea of not sticking around.  \nThat vanishing act was not the original plan when the company began far from any strip mall. Spirit Halloween started in 1983 in Castro Valley, California, where a businessman named Joe Marver first opened it as a women's clothing store. He noticed that his best sales came in the fall, when shoppers wanted Halloween costumes rather than everyday clothes. Instead of ignoring that pattern, he leaned into it, andreshaped the whole store around the holiday. That single decision, to sell one thing at one time of year, became the seed of everything the company does today.  \nLeaning into a single season sounds risky, yet it turned out to be the company's greatest strength. Because Halloween lasts only a short window, Spirit does not pay year-round rent on expensive buildings. Instead, it moves into stores that recently closed, signing short leases for spaces that would otherwise sit empty and earn their landlords nothing. A shuttered department store, a former grocery, or an old electronics shop can each become a Halloween wonderland for a few weeks. This model saves enormous money, which is exactly why a temporary store can beat a permanent one.  \nSaving on rent is only useful if you can build and unbuild a store at lightning speed. Setting one up is a race: workers unload trucks, assemble hundreds of shelves, hang costumes, and wire up animated decorations, often in a matter of days. When the season ends, the whole thing runs in reverse, and the space is emptied out and handed back before the leftover candy is even on clearance. This constant setup and teardown means the company has become expert at logistics, the science of moving goods and people efficiently. In a sense, the real product is not just costumes but the ability to appear and disappear on command.  \nThat skill at appearing everywhere helped a lone California shop multiply across a continent. The chain was bought by Spencer Gifts in 1999, and under new ownership it spread rapidly across the United States and into Canada. Today it operates well over a thousand pop-up locations each fall, making it one of the largest seasonal retailers in North America. According to the National Retail Federation, Americans spend billions of dollars on Halloween each year, and a chain built for that single holiday is perfectly placed to capture it. What began as one owner's hunch about autumn shoppers now unpacks itself in cities from coast to coast.  \nAll that spending explains why shoppers keep hunting for the orange signs every September. Part of the draw is the treasure-hunt feeling: because the stores are temporary, you never know exactly what you will find or how long it will last. The costumes, masks, and towering animated figures turn a plain shopping trip into an event, almost like walking through a haunted attraction that happens to sell things. For families, spotting a new Spirit Halloween appear in a vacant building has become its own signal that the season has arrived. It is a curious thought that a company can succeed most by being the one store guaranteed to disappear.  \n The Halloween Store That Pops Up Every Fall Name:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) Which sentence best states the central idea developed throughout the passage?\u003Cbr>A.
