Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come
to me. I wish none of this had happened.

Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

We’re not gonna let this *gestures broadly* steal Halloween.

We really struggled with when we should open, if we should open. But for over 40 years the Costume Shoppe has been a little oasis in the chaos and drudgery of real life and we’re not gonna stop now.
Things are really hard and Halloween is likely not anyone’s priority. However, if you need a little break, a little whimsy, stop by the Shoppe.

Temporary Hours:
Wednesday-Saturday
11-4

We don’t know about y’all but we’re tired of “unprecedented times.”
We’d love some regular times for a bit. Some humdrum times would be great.
Anyway, the Shoppe will be open Friday and Saturday from 11-4. 🤷🏽‍♀️
Stop by for a chat or a quiet rest on the bench out front, wifi, and a flushing toilet.

The Costume Shoppe is closed until further notice. We’re safe and incredibly grateful.

On a personal note, Asheville is my hometown and I’m absolutely heartbroken at the sheer devastation of our community. But, I know the heart and resilience of mountain folk and know we’ll recover. Lean on each other and pitch in where you can.

The Costume Shoppe will be back to shenanigans hopefully sooner rather than later.
