Is it true that is was built on rock and roll?

Party supplies are high profit items

CRAZY high profit items. I think the only thing with a higher profit margin is Mardi Gras beads.

I just got a bunch of Jake the pirate shit there for my 2 year olds birthday.

are you implying that some ghost pornographers have the gall to censor their films?

There's a party every weekend.

There's a party every day.

Except Tuesdays.

We should all live our lives like we lived in Party City.

Is it really just Halloween shopping? It just seems like such a weird store to be thriving in every city I've lived in for like 15 years. There's always a Party City and I never get why them and Radio Shack have dodged the graveyard to this day.

I used to wonder as well. Then my sister had two kids. There seems to be a birthday party in suburbia every weekend among her friend's kids and kids at the kindergarten and kids in the neighbourhood.

If you have kids, it's a great place to get stuff for birthday parties.

Done and done.

It's called PARTY CITY not Halloween city. It's super cheap and they have shit you won't find at Target/Wal-Mart etc.

I've known a few people crazy into cosplay and they love Party City. Lots of costume accessories there can easily be modified into pieces of anime/video game character costumes.

They have an awesome selection of Rams tailgate stuff. I spend a nice sum of money there every fall buying Rams logo napkins, plates etc. Definitely adds to the festive atmosphere.

I went there for the first time last month, and it was incredible. Whatever type of party you wanna have, they've got you covered. I wasn't planning on doing a luau/tiki themed party until I walked in there, but seeing all that stuff really does put you in the mood to party.

I also got a leprechaun beard and hat for like $3.

 

[FyreWulff]

The stationary/party/etc types of stores do huge business, more during the holidays, but definitely year round. I used to work for Oriental Trading Company and people would kill each other to get their hands on some of the wall wraps if they could.

Lived in a town of 14000 that had one...now I know it was a college town, but it wasn't a huge college town. Just a larger community college town.

And somehow that place is still open.

When I was a kid Party City during Halloween was an amazing place to visit.

 

[biggersmaller]

My wife is a teacher. She is there with some routine always needing some crap for student rewards. Standing in the store, I always wondered how they made their money - then I saw the line for Mylar Balloons.

Also ____________ showers, graduations, confirmations, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, etc.

 

[Relix]

Halloween dude!

 

[God Dayumm]

Do they sell booze and strippers?

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

I bet most of their locations are at places with heavy foot traffic.
Kinda like Radio Shack.
