It traces the business back to the early 1980s, when Joe Marver opened the first store in California. Growth is explained through a cost-saving strategy: opening inside empty buildings left by other businesses, staying open for about two months, and expanding across the United States and Canada.

Then one morning you look again, and the windows are full of orange lights, giant spiders, and rows of costumes! This is Spirit Halloween, a store that seems to pop up out of nowhere every fall. Inside, you will find costumes, masks, glowing pumpkins, and decorations for making a spooky-but-silly party.  \nA store that appears so suddenly must have started somewhere, and this one began small. Long ago, in the early 1980s, a man named Joe Marver opened the very first Spirit Halloween in California. At first it was just one shop, but people loved shopping for costumes all in one place. Because the idea worked so well, more stores began to open in other towns.  \nOpening in new towns takes a clever trick, and this store found one that saves money. Instead of building brand-new buildings, it opens inside empty stores that other businesses have left behind. The store stays open for only about two months, then it packs up and disappears until the next fall. So a busy place full of shoppers in October becomes an empty room again by winter!  \nThis come-and-go plan helped the little California shop grow into something huge. Today there are well over a thousand Spirit Halloween stores across the United States and Canada. Shoppers like them because they can find costumes, candy buckets, and decorations all in one trip. Isn't it funny to think that a store you visit in the fall might be gone before you even build your snowman?  \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) What is the main idea of this passage?\u003Cbr>A.
