FUN.com Spending Half a Million Dollars on Hotels in Mankato to House Seasonal Employees

NORTH MANKATO, Minn., September 8, 2021 (Newswire.com) - HalloweenCostumes.com (Parent Company: FUN.com) is hiring over 2,250 seasonal employees for this year's already busy Halloween season. Part of its hiring efforts this year include spending $500,000 on hotels around the area. 

Tom Fallenstein, CEO of HalloweenCostumes.com, says the company needs all the help it can get this year to help fulfill global customer orders for Halloween. This includes providing jobs for those outside of its North Mankato, Minnesota, location. 

"As products continue to quickly fly off the shelves with people starting to prepare for Halloween, we need the extra help in our warehouse and customer service departments to keep up with customer demand. This is where our Halloween Heroes Program comes in," Fallenstein said. 

The Halloween Heroes Program is paying for employees that live more than 30 miles outside of the North Mankato location to come stay at hotels in the area and work a minimum of 40 hours a week. This is available for residents of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. On top of paying for their hotel rooms for a month, the program pays competitive hourly wages, additional peak paydays/times that can add up to an extra $8 an hour, and prize opportunities. 

Fallenstein says, "This year, we have some really fun prize opportunities lined up to reward our hardworking employees. Some of these prizes include TVs, iPads, AirPods, Yeti coolers, and more."
