Top e-commerce website FUN.com opened its third national warehouse in Elsmere, Kentucky Tuesday.

The 285,000-square-foot facility at 1780 Garvey Avenue will feature FUN.com's themed merchandise such as clothing, collectibles, gifts, home and office items, and costumes ranging from Barbie to Harry Potter.

The warehouse is creating about 500 seasonal jobs for people with "every superpower," for part-time and full-time workers, according to a release from FUN.com.

Notable guests at the opening included Darth Vader and a Storm Trooper, who made an appearance to take photos with visitors.

A Ghostbusters Stay Puft Marshmallow Inflatable rising 25 feet in the air marked the location to visitors, who toured the facility on scooters.

"Each day we get up, ride scooters and do what we love, being our FUN-of-a-kind selves," said CEO Tom Fallenstein in a release.
