Variety Stores near Naperville, IL

“Five below is my son’s favorite place to shop. But this location is smaller than the one on Butterflied (Route 56). And since they change their stuff seasonly, obviously there are fewer options available.

We usually shop for books, board games, art supply, toys ? stickers, gadgets, excavation kits, and other indoor activities for kids.

I’d recommend Five Below to anyone. Their stuff is unique and very affordable. Literally $5 & below. Though some home products could range from $10-$20. And items they sell are one of a kind, you won’t find elsewhere.

But I definitely DON’T recommend the crystal excavation pink/purple kit. That thing was so huge, approx 5x9” a little bigger than adult palm, and damn was it a pain to dig at. It had about 20 small beads 5 millimeters in diameter all over the place...

You really needed to crumble that sucker and since the plaster or whatever they used do burry the beads at was pink in color, the coloring ? traced on your hands and wouldn’t wash off for 4 days.

My son LOVES to dig out precious gems ? coins, shells and whatever other unique items so we shop for them quite allot. Another time we purchased at 5-below a huge skull ? shape excavation set and it was a nightmare to dig ? it out. I don’t know what it was made of, but it wouldn’t budge. The set was supposed to have a Pirate ?‍☠️ ship model. Well, we only managed to excavate whatever item was closer to the surface, the rest was submerged in water for a MONTH and still didn’t dissolve. We ended up trashing it, saying “never again”. It was a shame. But since the kit was only $5, oh well. All the other excavation kits we purchased were flawless, except those two.

Anyway, we love Five Below but mainly go to Denada Square Plaza on Route 56.”

“Good store but they are always setting something up and they're a lot of things happening at once so it's kinda overwhelming. They do offer very good decor for the spooky season and have funny T shirts. The prices are NOT 5 and below. A lot of the good decor is about $7.00. They do have good deals on candy. Overall, the selection of items was nice, high quality, and very suitable for the spooky season.”

“Amazing store, is been a while since the last time I visited and I was not disappointed. Great selection on all sorts of items. Personel was amazing and attentive.”

“Nice place but don't like yourself check out option that's all they have and why should I check myself out when they're not paying me a discount to buy their products.”

“I'm a CD collector and I have to say the FYE in Fox Valley Mall is the best one I've been in in Illinois. The CD selection is great, the service is friendly, and the exterior is cool as well.”
