Did You Really Drive Down from Aventura for Costumes?

By Admin

We were flattered when we learned the answer.  It has been happening more and more, people are coming from all parts of South Florida looking to us for a last minute solution.  Wonder Costumes is located in southwest Dade; if you are familiar with the city, you know that a person looking for costumes in Aventura must be in dire need before deciding to take the road trip to Kendall.  That was exactly the case of a customer who lives north of the Aventura Mall—close to the Waterways Marina—where she expected to find at least ONE costume store that opens all year in Aventura.  No luck.  Not even in Sunny Isles and Ojus.  Aventura is located near so many commercial areas in North Miami, it is a shame that so many people have to travel down south for a costume because the popular party retailers only stock up for Halloween.

In this particular instance, our client needed a 1970s Disco costume for a throwback party she was attending.  Throwback themes are very popular in South Florida; we do have a history of partying down here, after all.  We were very thankful that she chose our store; we know that she could have looked elsewhere in the city, but when she saw our website and spoke with of one of our guys, she felt that were the best choice—even though we are primarily based online.  There is no reason to waste time making pit stops.  We have established that we have the biggest selection in the city.  It’s hard to top the variety we carry and even harder to beat our prices.  The problem that most of our customers in Aventura face is more than only finding a costume store that opens year round. 

Being in a party city, birthday bashes and nightclub events often happen in a spare of the moment.  Even when people know in advance, they decide last minute to attend.  Then, you have the school system, asking kids to dress up for a whole host of school functions, and kids often forget to deliver the message on time. That is where a costume store like ours is a life saver.  Local costume shops cannot afford to carry an excessive amount of costumes due to limited space and overhead costs—which also lead to high prices—and local shoppers looking for a last minute outfit cannot afford to lose time hopping from store to store.  Usually, the internet is the answer because online costume stores warehouse a much wider selection than brick and mortars, but there isn’t always a guarantee that the products will arrive on time.  Add to that, the fact that rush-shipping is expensive.  So, wouldn’t it be ideal to have an online costume store headquartered near Aventura?  That is exactly what Wonder Costumes is to our South Florida clientele.

Wonder Costumes is about 45-60 minutes away, but we are constantly attracting customers from Aventura and its surrounding areas because we have the ideal scenario.  You can call ahead of time, find out if the stock you see online is available in-house, come in that same day, and buy it at prices that are often less than half of other locals.  Even if you don’t have time to visit locally, ordering online takes much less time to arrive by mail because we are in the same city.  Until there is a store, just like ours, headquartered in Aventura, there will be no better place for costumes in the area.

If you can identify with the predicament that our clients in Aventura face, please contact Wonder Costumes at 305-253-5380 or send us an e-mail at info@wondercostumes.com.  We’re here for you!
