BIG FLATS, N.Y. (WENY) -- As summer winds down and fall soon approaches its almost that time of year again Halloween ware house located in the Arnot mall is opening its door for its final season.

Owner of Halloween Warehouse Don Lewis  tells me why this will be his final year being open

"Being a family ran store its tough to compete against big box stores now that there is temporary Halloween stores that pop up and go away after a month and a half sort of like we do but the big box stores take their money elsewhere buy large quantities its tough to compete anymore." 

Dons says there's one thing his business does that separates himself from others.

"For the past thirteen years we always make sure that schools have costumes parades and everything like that and try to give back to the community anyway we can we really enjoy giving back to the local kids also."

Halloween Warehouse will feature a few sales in its final year of operation. 

"This week we're tax free all week long obviously going out of business we need to get rid of everything that we got as the season gets closer and closer everything will go more on sale just keep up to date on our Facebook and social media pages for all the sales that we're going to be offering throughout the season."

Don shares with me the most rewarding aspect of his store over the years.

"Little kids come in and pick out there costumes you know to see the smile on their face when they walk out with their costumes that's the most rewarding thing you can see."
