Fairmont, KY location

5 out 5 stars for variety, store organization/cleanliness, value, and selection at the Fairmont, KY 5Below store

See 👇 below for why I love shopping here

I'm always happy and impressed by their amazing selection! They have so many cute things overall, and I particularly love the holographic decor/organizational items that they currently have in stock. They match with the decor in my so well and really add something cute and colorful to look I've been going for.

I absolutely adore the vast selection and amount of options they have for all of their art supplies. The $5 drawing set is a must have if you're into sketching or are thinking of learning how to improve your skills.

I've probably bought 4 of them over the last year, since they're just as good as ones I've paid over 2x as much for ( faber castell or other too name brands) in the past, plus they everything you could possibly need to draw/sketch on the go while not taking up too much room in my purse or backpack since it comes with an acrylic case. Bonus that the included case prevents charcoal from making a mess while keeping everything organized and neat while you're doing your artsy thang where that might be. Awesome value!!

I also love their 24 peice acrylic paint sets, miniature 10 piece art easel and canvas sets, and all the sketch pads I've got from here have been good quality and held up over time.

The watercolor pencils/paints are also an awesome deal and blend just as well as the more expensive kind you get from craft stores like Michael's or Hobby Lobby without costing an arm and a leg.

I've included photos of the art products mentioned that I regularly stock up on along with some of the artwork I've made using them.

There are a lot of 5Belows, but this one goes "5Above" in terms of being a fun and thrifty place to get what you need to make some amazing art work when you're living on tight budget or just want to save that 💸 for other things.

Hopefully you get a chance to browse this location and just be ready to find lots of cool stuff at some epic prices. .

Thanks to the staff here for all that they do to provide a well stocked/easy to shop store as well as being helpful and friendly every time I've had the pleasure of shopping here.

There are apparently always Five Below stores near Barnes and Noble locations, so before I went to the bookstore, my husband wanted to stop by here. It's about the same size as the other two locations I've reviewed, but it did have quite a few fully empty shelves (see photos). Their yoga-focused section was mostly empty, which was a disappointment. However, they were well-stocked in most other areas and the store was mostly clean. The best deal we got was an Xbox One title we've been looking for (Risk of Rain 2 for $5, while it's $30 digitally).

The biggest disappointment was the lack of employees. The store is literally built up to be self-service. There are no cash registers, only self-service kiosks (see photo). Surely there is an employee overseeing this, but I didn't see one. There was general confusion amongst customers in line, since people were waiting to be called forward, or they'd go to a kiosk just to see an error screen and had to shuffle elsewhere. It was generally chaos. I don't work for free so I don't use self-checkouts. We will not be back to this location due to this. If lines were simply long because workers are hard to get right now, I'd understand. But the store has no registers; it is literally built to be this way.

Overall, a decent Five Below location with a horrific...

funny story, I walked into the store and was NOT greeted but 2 young white girls walk in behind me and were greeted. Wasn’t asked if I needed help with anything but someone else who was white was. As I am checking out customer service rep with curly hair walks over and stands not too far behind me. As I leave I am not told have a nice day or anything. My opinion customer service was horrible. And I’m not asking for special treatment because I am BLACK but to greet and help anyone who is white I find very odd and funny and someone should look into that kind of...
