Tom Fallenstein is the CEO of Costumes Galore, a privately held multimillion dollar company in the Halloween costume and tuxedo industries. Costumes Galore is most notable for its online Halloween costume shop HalloweenCostumes.com.

Career[edit]

Fallenstein's family founded Costumes Galore in 1992 as a local costume rental business based out of their garage in Mankato, MN. In 2004, Fallenstein graduated with a B.A. in Computer Science from Minnesota State University, Mankato. He designed the company's first website in order to reach out to domestic and international markets. Online sales quickly became such a large portion of total revenue that the company closed its storefront in 2005 to sell products exclusively online.

Recognition[edit]

Fallenstein won Connect Business Magazine's Business Person of the Year Runner-up award in 2007. ^[1]
