    Spencer's History
    <br />
    <br />
    Originally founded as a mail-order catalog in 1947, Spencer's sold a vast assortment of innovative, novel merchandise that added excitement and laughter to its customers' lifestyles. Soon after its launch Spencer's became a leader in the mail-order industry and decided to expand its business by entering the mall arena. In 1964 Spencer Gifts opened its first retail store in the Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, New Jersey where we continue to have a retail presence.<br />
    <br />
    Shortly after launching its retail division, Spencer Gifts was acquired by MCA, Inc. As an MCA company, Spencer Gifts, Inc. became a member of one of the world's largest entertainment families and experienced tremendous growth by becoming the destination within the mall environment for everything unique and fun.<br />
    <br />
    In 1995, MCA was acquired by Seagram Company Ltd. and operated under the name Universal Studios. While a Universal Studios company, Spencer's continued to experience growth by cultivating its merchandise, expanding its store base into Canada and acquiring a Halloween seasonal retailer, Spirit Halloween, in an effort to expand its Halloween business beyond the mall. Since joining the Spencer's family, Spirit has experienced consistent growth and today is a leader within the Halloween industry.<br />
    <br />
    In 2001, shortly after entering Canada and acquiring Spirit Halloween, Vivendi, a diversified international entertainment company acquired Universal Studios and re-branded the entire organization as Vivendi Universal Entertainment LLLP.<br />
    <br />
    Less than two years later, in 2003, GB Palladin, a joint venture between Gordon Brothers Group, LLC and Paladin Capital Group, Inc. acquired Spencer Gifts LLC.<br />
    <br />
    The Spencer brand is a mainstay in popular culture and continues to evolve. In the Fall of 2004, four new prototype stores were constructed and opened in Deptford, NJ, Lehigh Valley, PA, Concord NH, and Des Moines, IA. Mixing influences from urban industrialism with a nightclub atmosphere, these new stores are paving the way for Spencer Gifts to become the most outrageous retail brand on the planet.<br />

    I am in no way associated with GaiaOnline with special offers. I just happen to be a person that actually works at a Spencer's Gifts store and thought it'd be cool to advertise for them. This is a mule of a longer standing account on Gaia.
