I had a local party city in my neighborhood that I went to ever since I was a child. I was always there for every Halloween, or Party in general, birthday's. I got all my costumes there, back when they had the wall of costume days. Or the catalogs too, I think i still have a super old one from 2011 and 2012. I think they ran those out until 2014? By what I mean as a child, I've been at my Party City in the neighborhood since I was around 4-5 years old, until today. I'm 24 now, so it's been YEARS I've been shopping at my Party City. I'm gonna miss it most definitely 🎈
I was blown away when I heard this... I'm still tossed whether to make a video. Party City has always been a fun place for just no reason. Halloween will never be the same... Happy Holidays, mini me 🎃
I think the Canada branch is good though and the non corporate stores are good also party city will probably just go online only or adopt the pop up model
Worked at Party city for majority of my time in college and was a great company to work for. It really is a shame that suite level leadership (and Amscan) dropped the ball so badly on hard working store employees. They could have done so many things to keep the momentum going on what they do best, and keep folks coming into the brick and mortar stores (seasonal events etc). Really sad to see the chain close, big blow to the Halloween community. A big chunk of Store management came from Toys R Us, interested to see where most of them head over to.
Wow that's wild I had no idea. Party City is the only place I can think of to get supplies for birthday parties and stuff anymore. Aeon gymnastics down in Hillsdale used to be a huge party store as well in the 90s. Sad for future parties
The party is most definitely over, huge blow to haunters. I know yall were probably influencers for alot of products, ive been watching all you guys (the haunter community) for quite some time now. Seeing everyone do store tours at party city and big lots, was a great feeling knowing fall and halloween was just around the corner. This one hurts a bit man, RIP 🕊
Wow really sucks they had some really cool props some of the best big lots is also closing stores just when I got into decorating Two of the good ones are going down
This makes me really sad because every year I get my Halloween costumes from Party City😢 This year was my first year going to Spirit Halloween, I'm gonna miss part city so much😭
Maybe they should have accepted my order for embers and rattles this year, was prepared to spend around US$20,000 but they refused to export. But Costco Australia brought out a smaller version of rattles at a much better price than PC were offering including freight and import costs. Seriously, if they aren't willing to accept people's money them what comes around, goes around. Sad to see them go, but maybe they should have rethought their options long before now. I hope some of the execs of PC are following for channel.
I got the news yesterday & was so shocked! I would take my time & even bring my son with me Halloween. His first costume was from there, so sad to see them go! Idk why they are closing 😔
Helium shortage started this, and sales decreased. They pretty much declined since the pandemic with no parties going on and they didn’t fully recover. They tried to rely on Halloween as a whole and couldn’t because of Spirit Halloween, etc.
I love Party City, Halloween is my favorite! I would come here for. birthdays, wedding favors,baby showers, Valentines, St. Patricks day, Easter merch. And of course all the selection of balloons!😢❤ R.I.P.
I now have NO party stores anywhere near me!!! NONE!! (even the local one my family has been going to my whole life as well as another one I started going to closed down this year). and Target still sells cute party supplies but this year stopped all license partnerships so no IPs. I was really looking forward to taking my future kid to pick out their birthday theme and decorations in a wild party store but that experience (like so many others with all these other recent bankruptcies) has been stripped away from me 😭
That used to be one of my locations that I went to that’s the one in Paramus right so then that’s the one I went to now I live in Florida and the party said closest to me probably would’ve closed even if this wasn’t happening because I asked them when they’re getting their Halloween back out Because I heard some stores will be getting back and they said they had a ton coming out in about a month-ish
I just learned about Party City earlier today I'm confused my local Party City always had people walking out with balloons. I wonder if they invested to much in the animatronics trying to compete with Spirit. I'm going to miss my local Party City. Halloween was always fun at there. Also my local Party City in York, Pa. Chuck Cheese is right next door.
Today is Saturday almost sounds like sad 😭😂🤣 Glad a haunter is talking about this, as it’s my favorite store. They’re my favorite due to being the most reliable getting Halloween decorations in and being in walking distance when Spirit Halloween wasn’t. And yeah I noticed that half the stuff was still there and not a lot of clearance either.
Well the reason why party city is closing permanently in 2025 is because of the 2023 bankruptsy that people are going to online stores like Amazon and yes it's true that spirit Halloween is getting popular and less people goes to party city and including the expensive of global helium shortages that you want to buy balloons but I will miss the good memories of party city that I grew up when I was 5 through 12 and including big lots aswell as this store will shutdown next year but it's nice that we grew up with this store
You familiar with Awesome Alex99? He’s Canadian and said Canadian Tire not only operates Party City but is getting their stock and possibly new animatronics, so maybe they’ll get the designs and work with Tekky.
I can't believe they have to close. Party City has all year products not just Halloween. You'd think they would have been able to stay in business.😢 Big Lots is going, too 😢
I have a big lots and party city next-door gonna miss going into party city and single Halloween stuff animatronics I have a lot of great memories and party city I always come to party city for the Halloween stuff just to see the animatronics and other stuff but it won’t be the same anymore since party city is running out of business
Helium shortage started this, and sales decreased. They pretty much declined since the pandemic with no parties going on and they didn’t fully recover. They tried to rely on Halloween as a whole and couldn’t because of Spirit Halloween, etc.
Well, this is it. Rest in peace Party City. What are YOUR favorite Party City memories?
Sad to see no more Halloween goods from them!
I remember going there for a Belle Halloween costume in Halloween of 2007 if memory serves me correctly. And an Aurora one in 2009
I remember The Delicious Candy they had and Halloween animatronics 😢😢😢❤❤❤

getting megawolf and reacting to the 2022 props

Gone but never forgotten
RIP Party City
RIP
@ I been there a couple times I’m going to miss it I didn’t even know the anoument even existed

And Big Lots right when they were at peak. Sad. Party city always had the most interesting props.

Yeah this one stings
Party City, Big Lots, Pier 1 a year or two ago -- three distinct styles, but all were go-to Halloween stops.
Never shopped at Pier 1 but I’m sure it’s sorely missed
@@thepixelatedpumpkin31 its like hobby lobby, minus the religion and crafts, plus quirky vibes.
I remember when I was a little kid I always went there I’m really gonna miss that place I remember going there in Halloween good times😢
so horribly sad! I feared this was coming soon
It is sad for sure
Wow really sucks they had some really cool props some of the best big lots is also closing stores just when I got into decorating Two of the good ones are going down
Party City isn't going away completely. They will remain open at all locations in Canada as they are managed by Canadian Tire.
The outrageous commercial rents are a huge factor. Remember, Spirit gets a break by occupying empty stores and themrent has to be a little lower.
This makes me really sad because every year I get my Halloween costumes from Party City😢 This year was my first year going to Spirit Halloween, I'm gonna miss part city so much😭
Man I’m so heartbroken
So we only have spirit lowes Home Depot for Halloween now
Big lots is also going out of business to i heard

@thepixelatedpumpkin31 Hi it really is an end of an Era! 🎃

That is sad to hear that
Their prices on their Halloween decor this year were crazy!!
Bro I think party city deserves a moment of silence and taps to be softly played
I just learned about Party City earlier today
I'm confused my local Party City always had people walking out with balloons. I wonder if they invested to much in the animatronics trying to compete with Spirit. I'm going to miss my local Party City. Halloween was always fun at there. Also my local Party City in York, Pa. Chuck Cheese is right next door.
I’ll miss Party City so much
4:47 hopefully the planned animitronic’s could be reused by another company, or at least we can see what they where going to be
personally I never really had a bond with party city but nonetheless,it's still a shame that it is closing. rest in peace party city
Today is Saturday almost sounds like sad 😭😂🤣
Glad a haunter is talking about this, as it’s my favorite store.
They’re my favorite due to being the most reliable getting Halloween decorations in and being in walking distance when Spirit Halloween wasn’t.

So sad, so sad
Honestly I am surprised that they lasted so long....seems like it would be hard to make a retail company out of over priced balloons and pinatas
True lol. Still so unfortunate
Bro spirit Halloween is going to be taking the places where party city used to be
What! I never knew they were having financial troubles
Big lots is getting close down to
Hi 👋 ❤🎉 I like your Christmas videos ❤
I got a couple more of those coming up soon!
Yep.
I'll miss Party City.
welp there goes my Halloween Channel Dream :(
😢
@@thepixelatedpumpkin31 HOLY SHIT! YOU MADE MY DAY BETTER!
To bad there closing
R.I.P Party City
Wait Party City is shutting down for good...😢😢😢😢😢
Yes
Im afraid so…..
Yes... yes it is
R.I.P Original Rattles and Embers😢
Well the reason why party city is closing permanently in 2025 is because of the 2023 bankruptsy that people are going to online stores like Amazon and yes it's true that spirit Halloween is getting popular and less people goes to party city and including the expensive of global helium shortages that you want to buy balloons but I will miss the good memories of party city that I grew up when I was 5 through 12 and including big lots aswell as this store will shutdown next year but it's nice that we grew up with this store
goodbye party city 👋
Bye bye
@ 😭
Just wait in the next couple years there will be no places to find Halloween stuff
You familiar with Awesome Alex99? He’s Canadian and said Canadian Tire not only operates Party City but is getting their stock and possibly new animatronics, so maybe they’ll get the designs and work with Tekky.
Interesting
I can't believe they have to close. Party City has all year products not just Halloween. You'd think they would have been able to stay in business.😢 Big Lots is going, too 😢
What's more Halloween City was owned by Party City so I guess that's going, too.😢
There goes my dreams of getting Cthulhu...
They made torture box woman leather face and dr Payne they were the kings now rest in piece😢
👑
RIP Party City and Big Lots
2 in one day, what a bummer
@@thepixelatedpumpkin31 Well they were both announced a day apart
On there website it’s 50 percent off that’s good
It's understandable.
Is party city still gonna be online like toys r us
I don’t think so no
😭😭😭
we feel so bad for it.
Me too
It's happening to BigLots as well.
I know. Just as heart broken
Big Lots is also going out of business
I am aware so sad
So that means we are down to 5 Halloween stores Sprit, Home Depot, Morris Costumes, Haunted Hill Farm and Lowe’s
@@Toucan_6000_BECYou forgot Wal-Mart and Target.
I have a big lots and party city next-door gonna miss going into party city and single Halloween stuff animatronics I have a lot of great memories and party city I always come to party city for the Halloween stuff just to see the animatronics and other stuff but it won’t be the same anymore since party city is running out of business
R.I.P party city😭
It will live on in our hearts
@ ya
Oh no…
Oh no indeed
Why are they going out of business?
Helium shortage started this, and sales decreased. They pretty much declined since the pandemic with no parties going on and they didn’t fully recover. They tried to rely on Halloween as a whole and couldn’t because of Spirit Halloween, etc.
weren’t they also bankrupt
And people just get stuff online and Amazon and Amazon just kills the business’s
@@brandongsvideosandvlogs775 Bankruptcy from the helium shortage.
Out of money
That sucks
It’s truly upsetting
This is bs
