Treadway Events renovated an existing shop in St. Helens, Oregon, and built an immersive Official Spirit of Halloweentown Gift Shop, replacing a run-down store roughly a quarter of the size with a miniature Halloweentown-themed shop.
A GIFT SHOP WORTHY OF THE FESTIVAL
Merchandise is part of the Spirit of Halloweentown experience, but a generic shop would have felt disconnected from the festival’s cinematic world. Treadway Events replaced a run-down gift shop in St. Helens—roughly a quarter of the size, with no matching merchandise or interior—and transformed it into the Official Spirit of Halloweentown Gift Shop, a miniature Halloweentown-themed shop complete with the Great Pumpkin, themed facades matching scenes from the films, a light show, audio soundtracks, and other special effects throughout the space. The official shop opened in 2025 and was featured as part of the 2025 festival, which ran September 27 through October 31.
The existing gift shop was run-down, roughly a quarter of the size of the new shop, and had no matching merchandise or interior. It needed more than a merch refresh. It had to be replaced and reimagined so that shopping felt like an extension of Halloweentown itself—improving guest flow and presentation throughout a month-long festival.
When a festival shop is treated as an attraction, not just a transaction point, guests stay longer and take more photos. Thematic immersion and a better-planned retail experience would do as much for merchandising as any change to the product mix.
Treadway Events replaced the existing run-down gift shop and designed a miniature Halloweentown-themed Official Spirit of Halloweentown Gift Shop, complete with the Great Pumpkin, themed facades matching scenes from the films, a light show, audio soundtracks, and other special effects throughout the space, integrated into the festival’s guest experience in downtown St. Helens.
The Official Spirit of Halloweentown Gift Shop opened in 2025 as a fully themed destination, replacing a run-down shop roughly a quarter of the size that had no matching merchandise or interior.
