Are they hiring seasonal help yet?

Yes yes yes

Check with the store your interested in working at, I would visit the store or call for the most accurate information.

They should be. Even if they are not it is always good to get your application in early before the huge rush.

No seasonal help this year, but hiring.

Call the store that you are interested in working at. Ask to speak to the HR person. She/ He is the person to ask. Or ask for the store manager. Good Luck!!
