Halloween Sales Expected To Rise This Year

(Los Angeles, CA) Retailers are looking to make big bucks this Halloween after some low sales last year.

Market analysts say retailers are likely to see a 10.7% improvement on sales of costumes,  candy, and decorations.

Costumes make up the majority of Halloween spending, accounting for almost $3 billion.

But buyer beware, sugar prices are up almost 12%, so candy for trick-or-treaters will be more expensive.
