Furniture chain Ashley recently opened its biggest North American store in the Las Vegas suburbs, building it from the ground up in a fast-growing area.

But this isn’t the only change to its Southern Nevada footprint.

Ashley also closed two stores in Las Vegas — one in the downtown area, the other near Summerlin — and sold the buildings for millions in recent months.

Its former outpost on Martin Luther King Boulevard at the Spaghetti Bowl is slated to have a child-abuse support center, while its former store on Sahara Avenue at Fort Apache Road is being occupied by Spirit Halloween, the seasonal chain that takes over empty retail space for a few months to sell costumes and decorations.

Spirit Halloween says online that its location in the former Ashley store will open this month.
