| Goodwill Halloween Pop Up Store |
I don't have too much time for this one, so I have to put this in here straight away. While the proposed new Goodwill in deWitt remains in property purgatory, just a couple miles away, there is yet another property that might also stay vacant at this rate. Goodwill could get the former Charneys on Erie Blvd E in Empire Plaza if it's still available in one years time. The Mid-Michigan Bureau launched a Halloween Pop-Up Store to compete with Spirit of Halloween and Halloween Express in Birch Run, MI. Their counterparts in the Finger Lakes, based in Rochester, whose market area covers a third of Upstate and includes Syracuse, would have to consider it. These pop-ups have mainly open in outlet centres owned by Simon Property Group, who have one in Waterloo, which would also work, but right here in CNY is where more people live and would want such a place. While regular locations have a section for new and donated goods, the pop-up is exclusively for Spooky Season. Of course, AI is not always right and everything is not out of doors like a car boot sale, mind. I get the gist, and maybe the concept will reach this end of the Great Lakes next year. If the regular store finally pulls through, then perhaps the former Jo-Ann Fabrics in either Fayetteville or Clay or Goodwill don't compete with themselves or Spirit too closely (although the Clay one would be in Marketfair North, which has the Spirit for that end now, and you can't have both, although COR Centre down NY 31 have no qualms with Ross, Sierra, and T.J. Maxx altogether, but that's different). For used costumes, it will keep them out of the skip and tip.
