The passage explains the core idea: the company specializes only in Halloween gear, starting with one shop opened by Joe Marver in 1983 in California. It uses short-term “pop-up” stores rented for about two months in empty buildings, letting it avoid rent during quiet off-season months.

The answer is Spirit Halloween, a chain that shows up every fall like clockwork. Walk inside and you'll see rows of witch hats, glowing decorations, fake spiderwebs, and costumes for everyone from tiny toddlers to grown-ups. Then, just after Halloween, the whole store empties out and is gone until next year.  \nThat vanishing act didn't happen by accident, and it started with just one shop. Back in 1983, aman named Joe Marver opened the very first Spirit Halloween in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. At first he sold women's clothing, but he noticed that his Halloween items flew off the shelves faster than anything else. So he made a bold choice: he would sell Halloween gear and nothing else, turning a single idea into a whole business.  \nSelling only Halloween sounds risky, but it led to a clever trick that other stores now copy. Because people mostly shop for costumes in the weeks before October 31, the company opens what are called \"pop-up\" stores. A pop-up store moves into a building that is sitting empty, often ashop that recently closed, and rents it for only about two months. When the season ends, the store packs up and leaves, so it never has to pay rent for the long, quiet months when nobody is buying witch hats.  \nFilling an empty building that fast is a giant job that takes a small army of workers. Crews arrive at a bare space and, in a matter of days, build shelves, hang decorations, and stock thousands of costumes before opening the doors. From that one shop in California, the chain has grown to well over a thousand stores across the United States and Canada each fall. Can you imagine setting up a thousand stores and then taking them all down again in the same year?  \nAll that setting up and tearing down happens because shoppers keep coming back for the thrill of it. Part of the fun is that the store is a surprise, appearing in a spot that was empty just weeks before. Halloween itself is big business, and a National Retail Federation survey found that Americans plan to spend billions of dollars on the holiday each year. So the next time an empty store suddenly fills with pumpkins overnight, you'll know a vanishing store has popped up right on schedule.  \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 the whole passage?\u003Cbr>A.
