Five Below offers a large selection of trendy, low-cost items, primarily priced between one and five dollars, across categories like style, tech, candy, and toys. It is popular with kids, tweens, and families, providing a fun outing and an affordable source for entertainment, toys, and novelty items like phone cases and journals. The store features a cool selection with many items, though some customers note that more pictures are on display than actual products on shelves, and there can be lots of out-of-season or weird items, such as pickle-flavored sweets. The experience can vary. Some shoppers have very pleasant interactions with helpful, smiling checkout staff, even during busy times like Black Friday. However, other reviews indicate that staff can seem over-worked and underpaid, and poor management, including managers berating employees in front of customers, has been observed, creating an unpleasant experience. While the extreme value is appealing, many customers feel the products are cheap imports that are not very high quality and may break quickly, leading to concerns about over-consumption and items soon ending up in a landfill. The store is good at marketing and remains sought-after, but shoppers are advised to choose wisely.
Amazing, Lots of cool stuff for not very much. Only downside is the staff wasn't very nice. Probably was just a bad day. Will come again another day and update!

Cool selection. T-shirts were on the low side. More pictures on display then on shelves to sell. Lots of out of season items. The candy selection has taken a turn for the weird. Lots of pickle flavored sweets. But to each its own.

A must visit store if you want to explore cost effective stationary or home use stuff.
