The first Five Below opened up in 2002 in Pennsylvania. There are now 700 stores in 33 states. The concept of the store is everything costs $5 or less. Items are marketed to kids and teens.
I came in to this store during a visit to check out the new Dania Point shopping complex. This store opened in November with the first wave of retail stores in the complex. At this point I have been in quiet a few Five Below's and they are all the same. They sell seasonal items, toys, games, clothing, accessories, housewares, and snacks. I am partial to their candy and Japanese treats. If you have a kids birthday party to attend this is where you want to shop for a gift.

It's well lit inside and out and this location has much greater variety of products. For the type of store that it is.. .. I didn't really notice any disappointing factors. 4 stars instead of 5 because we called like 6 times before going and no answer at all, it felt like they kept hanging up once the automated system transfered the call to a...
Read moreI normally enjoy shopping at Five Below because of the bargains. However, I waited in line for one customer to finish and was next in line when a man in one of their Five Below shirts stepped in line at the second register. He was with two women and the only cashier proceeded to check the women out separately, instead of taking the next customer (me) in line. He paid for one order and introduced them to the cashier. When she finished and started to ring up my order, she asked how I was doing. I told her "O.k, until they cut in front of me." The women then apologized. This is a new store in a brand new-being-built shopping center. If employees regularly conduct business like that, I foresee trouble ahead, which is...
