Five Below

This is one of my new favorite stores. I went in here to purchase some Christmas presents for the kids. I got 7 presents for $ 30. That is awesome!!! It’s a shame I didn’t know about this store sooner. The employee that checked me out was really nice. I will definitely be back and I have already recommended others go here.

You sure can find everything in hear. From cellphone cases, to toys, name it there probably have it.
Five below reminds me of a dollar tree some what. Most of the same stuff. Can even get some good dvds.

You never know what you may find in Five Below. For me, it was a rhinestone wristlet keychain, $ 3.00 Sally Hansen Nail strips, 3 bottles of nail polish for $ 5, and a double usb plug for both my iPod and cell phone. Initially I went in there for one of those funky fuzzy ottomans with storage, but there were none in sight. So of course, I walk around to see what this place has… and if you’re like me and get giddy and excited over silly goofy things, you’ll love this place. I saw a polka dot plunger for the bathroom and squealed with joy. I didn’t get it, though, but the fact that it exists makes me happy! The store isn’t sloppy or a mess like a dollar store. It’s big, bright and clean.
HOWEVER — please NOTE — they do not give refunds for ANYTHING. I did get a mini USB-​hub and it wasn’t compatible with a few of my devices, so I went to return it and was asked if I wanted a gift card or a credit. I was stunned. Yeah — there was the sign at the register. So that’s what made me get the other items. If you’re a nail polish junkie like me, go for the the $ 3 Sally Hansen nail strips and the 3/​$ 5.00 bottles of polish. They also have a ton of nail files and buffers, too. Lots of fun stuff. Stock up ahead of time for stocking stuffers!
Also, they have a ton of iPhone covers. I don’t own an iPhone, so this bugged me, as there were no choices for other phones. They had some decent covers. But that’s why there’s ebay — to find a cover for my Nexus S.
Friendly associates, also. Next paycheck — I’m heading back! :)
Take $ 10-​$ 20 and go treat yourself to a bunch of fun shit!

This is a brand new location for Five Below. They come at a time when businesses seem to be fleeing this shopping center left and right. So it’s definitely nice to see an established franchise open up a new location here.
The store itself is exactly what you would expect from a Five Below location. Lots of discount toys, books, candy, movies, etc. If you’re familiar with the brand, you can skip to the end of the review or just look at the star rating. If you’re new to Five below, here’s a bit more info. Five Below specializes in lower cost and slightly older or overstocked merchandise from other retailers. In here (or any Five Below), you’ll find lots of cool little inexpensive kitschy items. as the name suggests, everything is marked at $ 5 or less. It’s definitely a noticeable step up from most dollar stores. Quite frankly, you’ll likely be surprised at some of the items you’ll find here.
This location has a smaller footprint than the nearby Franklin Mills location, but it’s still a decent size. The section that really took a hit was the toy aisle, as it’s fairly small here. But they do have a nice selection of pop culture t-​shirts that make great last minute gifts when you’re in a pinch. Other things that I found here were a nice selection of tablet accessories (a much needed cheap iPad stylus was found… Huzzah!). a decent selection of DVD’s (though no blu-​rays of yet like some other Five Below locations), books, and lots and lots of candy for the kiddies. The store has been kept pretty neat and clean so far, staff is friendly as well.
Overall, it’s exactly what you would expect from this type of store. Great for inexpensive gifts or to find cool little things on the cheap.
