Five Below

This Five Below is just ok. It’s mostly organized and spacious and the employees are very nice but every time I go in, there are never enough employees around. Most are on the cash register and there is hardly ever anyone on the floor to help you, even when there isn’t much of a line. Since each Five Below is different, items are in different places in the store. If you don’t know where it is and need help fast, you may not get it.

This is my 11 year old’s go-​to 5 below for pollyanan gifts, girl scout projects, last minute birthday party gifts and cheapie electronics (Like a selfie stick for $ 4.99) and accessories.
Is it my favorite store? No. But it is nicer (and more expensive) than a dollar store — it’s a FIVE dollar store.
Great for tweens & teens — and even a few things for the parents.

FIVE BELOW is what it is. Cheap stuff, fast. Needed a new phone car charger. In and out. Its basically the same time every visit. Stuff you can use or even stuff that is just fun say summer picnic items. I love it for what it is.

This is a decently stocked Five Below, and I enjoyed looking through their nail polish bins since they had a lot of trendy colors for cheap, including a number of «nail art» polishes specifically bottled with fine-​tip brushes.
That said, the service I got here was very strange. I walked in, and the sole worker in the store looked up at me, sort of scowled, and then went back to her work without acknowledging me. «Huh,» I thought, «that’s kind of weird.» But I didn’t think much of it… until she proceeded to fawn over every other customer who came in after me, greeting them warmly, asking if they needed help. etc.
I thought that was weird, but again, didn’t think too much of it until I politely informed her I would like to check out up at the front. She basically barked at me that she would be at Register Two in a minute. Umm… ok.
So, that kind of detracted from my experience of shopping here although the store itself seemed fine. It wasn’t bad enough to make me not want to come back here, but I’ll definitely be hoping I show up on someone else’s shift next time.

You obviously wouldn’t come to a Five Below looking for high class items, but it will do when it comes to stocking stuffers or other small items of interest. This particular location is pretty much like the other ones that I’ve visited except that the aisles are SUPER small — so small that you have to wait until everyone else is out of the aisle for you to walk through. Not ideal for browsing. But, I have gotten some great stuff for $ 5 — an exercise ball, yoga mat, yoga block, weights, random holiday and birthday presents for my niece and nephew. It’s worth taking a walk through if you have a few minutes to wait for some space!
