(50,561 posts)1. People still buy from Spencer's?
I just looked it up...Spencer's owns Spirit Halloween, whose revenues over the two months those stores operate every year provides 50 percent of the income of the corporation.
They're not as "in" as Hot Topic but they're still a staple of many a mall.

http://aconinvestments.com/portfolio/ - Spencer's owned by Acon Investments. Focus on investments in Latin America and for Hispanics
http://aconinvestments.com/team/ Bernard Aronson CEO of Acon. He worked for State Dept - maybe for Albright.
https://www.ndi.org/board-directors - Bernard Spencer on Acon Board.
Look at other board members, Howard Dean, Tom Daschle
I've been tweeting to @NDI, Madeleine Albright and Shannon Coulter. Would welcome others to do the same.

Can you imagine walking by the store and seeing that through the doorway or window? I'm not a purity person by any stretch, but places like that... man. Spencers had some pervy stuff back in the 80's and it's always been a staple, but this is just disturbing.
