Businesses near Foy Halloween Store see boost during Halloween season

Foy's Halloween and Variety Store in Fairborn has been a community fixture for nearly 100 years, expanding into multiple costume shops and haunted attractions along Main Street, according to Dayton Daily News.

Nearby businesses, including Shwartz Jewelry Store, which has operated for 84 years, appreciate the increased foot traffic and exposure that the Halloween season brings to the area.

Pete Bates, owner of Shwartz Jewelry Store, described Mike Foy, the current owner of Foy's, as a supportive neighbor who benefits the downtown community.

The Miami Valley Military History Museum, a nonprofit on Main Street, typically does not participate in Halloween events but still experiences more visitors during September and October due to the Halloween-related activities nearby.

Overall, the Halloween season brings a notable uptick in visitors to Fairborn's Main Street, benefiting a variety of businesses beyond those directly involved in Halloween retail.
