Party City's store in Humble, TX opened for business on September 17, 2010, just in time for Party City's annual Halloween retail spike. Halloween costume and accessory sales account for the lion's share Party City's yearly business, and Party City has geared up for the season by hiring more than 10,000 temporary workers nationwide to serve as cashiers, greeters, and customer support representatives, among other roles.
