Five Below is a popular high-growth value retailer that offers a wide range of trendy, high-quality products at affordable prices, mostly between $1 and $5. Founded in 2002 and based in Philadelphia, the store has nearly 1,200 locations across 40 states. It is especially loved by tweens, teens, and families who enjoy the fun and vibrant shopping experience. The store is organized into eight themed sections: Style, Room, Sports, Tech, Create, Party, Candy, and New & Now, making it easy for customers to find what they want and say yes to the newest, coolest items. Many visitors find the store to be a fun place to browse and shop for novelty items, holiday themes, and accessories. Some mention that they tend to spend more than expected, with one shopper noting a purchase total of around $150. Customers appreciate the friendly staff, with one describing an employee as super friendly and engaging. The store offers a variety of products, including Squishmallows plushies, Halloween items, travel essentials, art supplies, candy, snacks, and phone accessories. Quality is generally considered decent for the price, and customers enjoy checking out the variety of items, often with multiple pictures and detailed reviews. However, some reviewers note that not all items are priced below $5, with a few products costing more. A few also mention inconsistent staff behavior, such as the lack of a typical greeting and a security guard with a menacing stare, which some found off-putting. Despite these minor issues, most customers enjoy the store's selection, affordability, and fun shopping environment, making it a popular destination for those looking for budget-friendly, trendy products.
Good service, good selection, good prices, knocked 1 star off only because many shelves and product placements were disheveled but it's a busy store so no blame there whatsoever

Interesting place for sure! Not easy to find a specific item you are looking for, so expect to explore most of the store (and find several things you didn't know you needed until you see them!)
