Discount Stores in Latham, NY

“The atmosphere is definitely bargain outlet. Prices are reasonable, but check the expiration date on food items, I find it usually is within 2-3 months. Usually only 1 cashier, which can create long check out lines at times. Staff does not appear to be overly friendly.”

“Tammy Chase employee goes above and beyind and always a smile. She is very informative about the store, Danielle as well. Love that store , always clean and organized”

“I like Five Below. They have reasonable pricing and tons of interesting stock in the store. There is a huge selection of various products (in a relatively medium size store) including clothing, womans beauty products, odd electronics, pet supplies, candy, party supplies, and most important to me, toys.

I collect toys and also use them in creating my own art and swing by once a month to see whats new. I always find something I want. Right now 1980's toys and miniatures are popular, and Five Below has lots of both! I was so happy to find mini plastic lockers (with a little doll) that I bought four because I have an artistic concept they are perfect for.

I'm giving a four star review because of the greeting, staffing and overall state of the store. Every time I go in the store it is in complete dissaray with merchandise. Frieght boxes to be put on the shelves are on the floor everywhere (but I may just be consistantly arriving on days they get a shipment?) The shelves and pegs are absolutely packed to the point you can't easily shop and there is actually too much to look at. I know that sounds weird but it really is overwhelming. I'm pretty sure that inorder to see everything there I would have to stay overnight.

As far as the greeting, please stop making the staff scream "Welcome to Five Below" from wherever they are in the store every time someone enters. It's not neccessary because:
A: I know what door I walked through
B: it is completely not genuine and everyone knows it. There is no way it will ever increase my spending.
C: I cringe hearing it because I imagine the employees vocal cords are raw. Im sure there are lots of worker comp cases for that.

In conclusion, please hire more staff at a livible wage so they can stock and more genuinely greet me as I browse. I will still encourage everyone to go to Five Below because of their neat cheap items, but be prepared to stay a while or visit multiple times. They also have the biggest selection of candy and snacks so you won't starve :).

Enjoy your Five Below shopping adventure!”

“Convenient to get to as it's located on three busy through roads. Off-road parking. Has a lot more food items than it had. Store could use more space to hold all the things...food, decorations, cleaning supplies, office needs...a lot offered!!”

“Sometimes when I go to the Dollar Tree it's like wow I can get most of what I actually need in here, especially household items. I don't always have to run to Walmart......”
