Plan announced for future of shuttered Christmas Tree Shop at base of Sagamore Bridge

SAGAMORE, Mass. — A new business has announced a plan to move into the once-iconic and now-shuttered Christmas Tree Shops store that sat at the base of Cape Cod’s Sagamore Bridge for years.

Spirit Halloween will open for business at 6A Cranberry Highway in Sagamore in August, according to the seasonal store’s website.

The Sagamore Christmas Tree Shop, long known for its iconic windmill and thatched roof, welcomed visitors to the Cape for decades.

The location will likely again sit empty when the Halloween season ends unless another tenant moves in.

Many Christmas Tree Shops locations in Massachusetts and New Hampshire have closed in recent weeks as the home-goods retailer’s going-out-of-business sale continues.

The chain recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and then announced liquidation sales at all of its stores after defaulting on a loan that funds its bankruptcy.
