“This is one of the oldest stores in town. The owners are pretty nice and the customer service is great. On Fridays, religiously, they close from 12:30-1:30pm for Prayer.”
“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.”
“We picked up our pallet today and DEFINITELY was worth it! We knew there would be some baby stuff but between a brand new Jumperoo, 2 high chairs and a JBL Bluetooth clock we got our investment back!”
“There are 2 Dollar Trees within a mile of each other and though I visit the other dollar tree, I have checked in to the other store as this one never had a profile set up.My experience was simple. I knew what I wanted pliers), asked the staff, she pointed me to the right spot, I picked up and i was on my way out. On my way to the check out, I found two more items that would come in handy.”
“Went there a few weeks ago to their new bridal boutique portion. The staff was so friendly and helpful and made the experience so fun. All of the dresses are new never used just been tried on. It was a private experience and we were never rushed. I found the perfect dress! I highly reccomend making an appointment as well as checking out their thrift shop!”
“Very unfriendly lady works here beware.... looks at people like she hates them or her job.... store has alot of items for decent prices... I'd say more but i dont get paid for this”
“Bought a roll out bed. The woman who helped wad very kind. Made the purchase easy, picked out ny sheets and had the bed carried to my car. Plus the price of the same bed at a major on line retailer was $30.00 more. Excellent store and service”
“I'll tell you the number 33 is the best to me so I keep coming & ordering it lol . I'm new here & this place welcomed me as I was coming in the door . Very clean & organized store I like that everything you need is in there you don't have to go elsewhere plus this store is nice . The food is delicious ?”
“I love this store! In today's economy of soaring prices, they've managed to keep their prices quite reasonable. They carry a large variety of items from automotive to lawn and garden, grocery items to personal care. If you're on a fixed budget, this is a great place to shop.”

424 Balltown Rd, Schenectady“I'm cheating I work there. Yes I know there is stuff above $5, but where else can you go and buy an inflatable 4 man raft for $25? Walmart charges $100 for the same one”
“I mean it's the Dollar Tree what more can you say..Each store carries something different so if you see it you better get a bunch because once it's gone you might not see it again.”
“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”

873 Loudon Rd, Latham“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!”
“After going to the Apex Bumper cars I went to five Below and we saw Isabelle Jerome and Savannah Jerome we Brought Pink cup with baby cutie blanket is that nice from Savannah Jerome.”
“Was looking for certain items like panty hose and hair dye at another location... Everything I needed was right there in this place!!! Love them... Prices are high but if you need it... They have it ?”
“The owner of the store gives super good customer service, I ended up buying a really high-quality jacket there at a great price. I would definitely recommend this store if you are in Albany and looking for an army navy store. They have a lot of clothing and also knives and some other accessories but I did not get a full chance to look around the store so there’s probably a lot that I did not even see. It’s not a huge place but it’s very conveniently located and definitely worth checking out.”
“I am so impressed employees are so nice and I really really really like Dollar General it has all the stuff you need is stocked with stuff and the big bag of the chips that I like and they're always stocked with it Dollar general you get that five stars”
“I try to go when I am close just to hunt for items that are of interest to me. I found small size desk top clocks priced between USD 5 and 10, not bad. Also I look for radios and speakers, but never found any.”
“First, let me say this searching for sale items on Saturday is fun. My husband's at work, and I don't have anything to do so I wanted to try this. I went to a Dollar General that was a little way out; the drive. I used the app for the first time which tells me what items are in stock. To my surprise though there were a lot of people in the store looking for the deals. Ran into this ridiculous a** Karen who later heard me listening to an IG video publicizing the sale and wanted to talk. I'm in line checking out and she's like oh where did you find this... Chick, please. The cashier said they prepare on Fridays for the sale and make sure things are in their place. I found that many items were hidden and/or out of place. All were in stock. Nevertheless, I believe this hack would have worked for me. Except I couldn't help with picking up other items on sale. I don't think I'll come back to this location to shop. Just because outside of Karen, there were some pretty aggressive other shoppers also looking for Saturday sales. That's nothing against the staff who were very friendly and helpful. But I prefer to shop with people who have manners. I added a video here of me trying to use a brown stick to get a power wash that was on sale but hidden on top shelf behind Palm Olive.”

579 Troy-Schenectady Rd, Latham“Thank you (Coach), Sarah, for going above and beyond today in addressing my frantic search fir ICE MELT in time for tomorrow's storm. Out of the several individuals, you took the time to address my request by calling the pallet haulers, and coming from behind the service center and walking over to the area the pallet was and actually removing the plastic wrapping, so that I could buy them. others told me to wait or call back or this or that. Sarah (Coach), you did not. I see good future ahead for you. continue to do what you did today- practicing excellent customer Service with understanding and compassion.Cheers,Cordell B.”
“Hi, everything was great and everybody knew where everything was. I went to buy an apple ? corer and an egg ? slicer but the manager said we don't carry those in the store. C'est la vie, Joe”
