A Halloween pop-up shop has opened in part of the space formerly occupied by Carson's department store in Circle Centre Mall Downtown.

Spirit Halloween is one of three new businesses to open in the mall this fall. Two experiential shops — a bounce house and a bumper car venue — will join Spirit Halloween on the mall's third floor.

Greenwood-based Bumper Cars will open this fall, and Niles, Michigan-based Colby Bounce will open this October. The two activity shops will be near the center of the third floor.

Spirit Halloween is located in the space near the mall's food court, what was once the third-floor entrance to Carson's department store. The shop will be open until the end of October.

Carson's closed earlier this year, one of about 47 Carson's stores to close nationwide. Five of those stores were in Indiana.

It is not yet known what will occupy that space permanently.
