Not even the coronavirus pandemic can shake Vancouver’s Halloween spirit, which has popped up again this August in the form of a store.
The seasonal shop, located at 130 West Broadway, is one of two Vancouver locations and 1,300 in Canada and the U.S. that have survived the economic downturn of a global health crisis.
