“The owner, the prices, the selection. I’m going to do all my cologne shopping here in the future. What a gem of a place in South Philly. Best of all, transparent pricing.”
“Check any bags at the front security. Exciting variety of items. From candy, beauty products and makeup. Electronics for computer to cellphones. T-shirts, sleep ware, socks etc... Visit and see for yourself. Enjoy!”
“Lot has changed quite a bit in the retail industry over the last five years! While it’s always evolving, I think it’s safe to say that things shifted a lot since Covid. Five Below, if I'm not mistaken, used to focus on items priced at five dollars or less, but now you can find everything from super low prices to items that go up to $10-$15. They've managed to keep people engaged by offering a little bit of everything—from essentials like toiletries (think shampoo and shaving cream) to seasonal clothing, school supplies, and office supplies. They even have a small electronics section featuring accessories like tons of cables, earbuds, headphones, and phone cases. There’s also a section for fitness gear and a toy aisle. I can’t recall everything they have, but you can really find just about anything there, including some snacks and drinks—though it’s not a full grocery store, just some convenient items for when you’re in need. The store itself is bright and cheerful, which I really appreciate, and shopping there is a breeze. The aisles are spacious and easy to navigate, and prices are clearly displayed. I particularly like that they offer samples of colognes and perfumes in certain areas, which makes for a fun discovery experience. If you’re looking for a quick accessory for your phone at a fair price, it’s definitely worth stopping by, especially since the quality is better than what you'd find at some cheaper stores. The checkout process was pretty swift, even with just one cashier. I couldn’t resist picking up a box of cologne for just five bucks! I’m not usually into colognes, but hey, it was a deal! Oh, and they have some really good books and a few healthier snack options mixed in among the typical everyday treats. There are definitely a few items here that caught my eye!”
“I was shopping at this location today and had the best experience ever. Bobby and the other employees working that morning were exceptionally helpful and friendly. They greeted me warmly as I entered, answered all my questions patiently, and made sure I was comfortable throughout my visit. Their excellent service truly started my day on a positive note. Thank you so much for your kindness and assistance. Because of this outstanding experience, I will always come back to see you guys.”
“Great customer service. I called ahead of my arrival for a particular item. The item was at the counter when I got there. The cashier was absolutely delightful. Five stars isn't enough they deserve 10 stars.”
“Typical of most 5below locations. Great place to shop for all the little things you may need. Phone Chargers, phone cases. Coloring books. Tshirts. Hat. Pool side things. Candy and snacks. Even games and self help books. Speaker, glasses you name it. You can most things you need quick and day to day here. Great staff and helpful as well quick service. Not usually super busy, depending on when you go so that's also a plus.”
“This store ? has everything that you need and want since i been coming here never had a problem. With the people that work they are so kind and helpful and respectful been coming here for about 2 or 3 years love it and thank you besafe.”
“Price and quality combine perfectly in this store. I was very impressed by the service provided by the salesperson, Muhammad. He is a professional of the highest caliber—highly knowledgeable, refined, and polite. Muhammad is the ideal salesperson. Overall, the atmosphere in the store is calm. The merchandise is neatly arranged, and the prices are very reasonable.”
“It surprised me both about what they had available and what wasn't available. Some stores strive to provide a seemingly endless variety of products. Grocery Outlet seems very selective about putting reasonably priced merchandise on their shelves and in their refrigerated cases. So far, those reasonably priced items are sufficient for our needs and our tastes.”
“A new manager a while ago REALLY turned this place around! The staff is friendly and attentive! Store is usually well stocked. The store is much cleaner than some locations. You can really tell the team here is really giving their ALL!”
“Oh my gosh, a humongous shout out to SHADOW VANESSA ASHLEY, BONNIE!!!!!! I’m disabled and so are my two sons! This was the most magnificent experience at a Five Below even at a store in general !!!! The customer service is on another level. Shadow was so empathetic and compassionate for my sons. He even played with them with the toys in the store a little bit. Genuine people are still out there, they are just at the five below. The team is amazing Ashely is always a pleasure, VANESSA gave her own for my son. They work so hard and she said “ next time I can get one no worries” it was absolute selflessness. This crew deserves big pat on the back from the higher ups. Please acknowledge your tremendous staff not every store is like this. I have been too many. Although they have all been nice this by far is my favorite store even before today it’s my favorite five and below. Bonnie was polite at the register nd gave good direction on the rules per purchase for the squishy toys. I know they’re exhausted from all the traffic for all the squishy toys and still had such a smile on their faces. Shadow I absolutely need you all to make him a district manager. This guy is amazing. You don’t understand. I come in three times a week! Thanks again and I’ll see you later! ALSO IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR PRODUCTS, YOU NEED TO COME TO THIS LOCATION. THEY ARE FULLY STOCKED, ALWAYS WORKING ON STOCKING THE SHELVES AS SOON AS THEY GET THEIR TRUCK AND A PLEASURE TO BE IN THEIR STORE. IT IS ALSO VERY CLEAN.”
“The actual warehouse was a great experience Armando went above and beyond to explain all the pallets to us including pricing ... He was such a big help ! From NY ❤I still want my ninja slushie maker for my party 🥳 lol thank u (insider)”
“So for all of you that have never been to Philly before parking is crazy. It's better to walk. Other than not having parking spaces to park your vehicle. The store was very big. It had a lot of items to choose from things that I've never seen in my home state. If I was ever in Philly I would definitely go back to this five and below.”
“When I lived in the neighborhood, this store was one of my favorite hangouts. They had everything, including cute handbags and clothing that was original yet inexpensive. They had a backroom that featured a variety of creative and abstract 8'x10' rugs. She picked out the cutest outfits that were cheap yet stylish. It was a one-stop shop for all, and they knew everyone from the neighborhood. I often say that I am going back to visit. I need to!”
“I buy most of my everyday home goods here, soap, TP, paper towels, etc. mostly off brands and dead stock but the prices are low in comparison to chain dollar stores. I've also bought quality seasonal items like touchscreen gloves and leg warmers. very clean and surprising variety from kitchen to party supplies to tools. friendly, consistent staff. a neighborhood staple.”
“Love this store! Come here all the time.. Lots of amazing employees, love being greeted when I enter and exit the store. Just the other day a sweet girl I believe her name was Breanna, she helped me find an item I needed desperately for my sister for Christmas. Great employee ??”
“Be careful going to 5 below it's cheap for a reason because you can spend a million bucks in here. I spent 400.00in here the other day. They have a lil bit of everything and for five bucks you need it all and you buy it all. Cashiers are friendly and security is to. Safe area with plenty of parking”
“Have been attending this location for about 5 years and I love it ! Very nice people, clean , decent prices, and most of all , they make you feel comfortable. Love them very much ! Great luck”

“Great Store.Many good items.great choices.Found what I needed.The employees were very helpful.and professional.Great Store.Great Atmosphere.Great Merchandise.I made a wise decision in shopping at D D's Discount today and will return when I can.”
“This is one of those stores where you walk in looking for a strainer and you walk out with a screwdriver, an outlet extender, latex gloves, 3 lottery tickets, and a turkey baster. You forgot the strainer, rinse and repeat. Seems to be run by a nice Korean family, it's a good alternative to Daiso since there isn't one anywhere around here. Recommend you explore the aisles, you'll see things you didn't know you needed. The tool/hardware section is surprisingly well stocked. My one caveat is that I wish they didn't sell betta fish, they usually don't look like they're doing very well.”
“This place is great .Plenty room to move around. Plenty parking . The place is clean neat and organized. Tables floors and counter tops all disinfected. Bathrooms clean as well. The service was exceptional the staff was on point and courteous . The help was awesome . No issues no hassle no worries smooth operations at this location. My experience was top tear here. We went in got what we needed and was out the door in mins”
“Wonderful place... Even the people that shop there. I was in line once and the person in front of me had a whole lot of groceries and I only had four and that person let me go first. So not just the workers but even the shoppers. (The dudes stocking the shelves can be a holes though.) A great place to shop though.”
“Love the dollar tree. The staff are all really nice. I will say that the one in Andorra is 10 times better than the one in Ivy Ridge Shopping Center. I'm Andorra there's more items, it's always clean and organized and easier to find time without having to dig through each shelf.”
“Ran in for a few things and the staff was super friendly. The young man cashier was quick, polite, and had me checked out before I could even open my shopping list ? Great service!”
“The variety amount of different products they have here is like super overload so many different things it's like Walmart you come and you'll find what you need Everytime, you gotta come here at least once but the one time is you need to get hooked and turn you into a shopaholic, if your a Walmartholic this is the place for you to.”
Burlington Stores is giving its locations a major makeover. The off-price retailer has already transformed about half of its 1,115 stores and plans to complete the redesign across its entire fleet by the end of 2026. The company calls this makeover "Store Experience 2.0." Gone are the cramped aisles and confusing layouts that once defined discount shopping. Instead, Burlington is creating wider walkways, organized sections, and clearer signs to help shoppers find what they need.
Dollar General is adding more of its private label food offerings to stores, following similar moves by big retailers like Walmart and Amazon as store brands keep growing in popularity. The store is launching new items under its own labels, including ice cream, cinnamon rolls, coffee syrups, and salad dressings. The move comes as store brand sales reached $271 billion in 2024, up nearly 4% from 2023.
Daiso, the beloved Japanese retailer known for its variety of affordable household goods, is expanding further in the U.S. market. This week, the company is celebrating the grand openings of three new stores in Texas and California. On Saturday, Aug. 10, Daiso debuted an 8,000-sq.-ft. location in Beaumont, Texas, at Dowlen Towne Center, as well as two Southern California stores - a 6,319-sq.-ft. space in Van Nuys at Mid Valley Marketplace and a 5,200-sq.-ft. store in Westminster at Westminster Center.
Dollar Tree is moving into 170 former 99 Cents Only stores, marking a big shift in the discount retail landscape. The company announced Wednesday it's taking over leases in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Texas, with plans to reopen the stores under its own brand as early as fall 2024.
Ollie's Bargain Outlet just landed a great deal of its own, winning a $14.6 million bankruptcy auction for 11 former 99 Cents Only store locations across Texas. The discount retail chain pounced after 99 Cents Only abruptly went out of business in March, shuttering all 371 of its stores in California, Arizona, Texas, and Nevada. Ollie's quickly made an opening "stalking horse bid" to grab over a dozen of the empty properties.
