Five Below — Local services in West Melbourne

We have been to the store located on 192 several times and the kids were excited to see this one open since it's so much closer. When I told people about the store they said it sounded similar to a "dollar store", which I kind of guess it is when it comes to price... since everything in the store is $5 or less...hence the name "Five Below". However prices are the only similarity to the "dollar stores", otherwise it is nothing like them. You can find a variety of items ranging from some clothing items, exercise and sports equipment, phone and electronic accessories, toys, beauty supplies, arts and crafts, seasonal items, candy galore, and more. And the quality of the items are pretty great too. I mean, they obviously aren't top of the line, but the quality exceeds the low prices. Similar items purchased from the "dollar stores" are junk quality and will be in the garbage within days, but the items purchased here are really not much different than what you would get from Wal-Mart or Target. Because the prices are low and the quality of items make the purchases worth while, it is a great place for kids to do shopping of their own to pick out and purchase gifts for friends and family for birthdays and holidays without breaking the bank. Just know that their inventory does change frequently based on what they have in stock. So if you see something you want, get it now or stock up on it because it may not be there next month or even next week! Due to their wide variety of items and the inventory changes, plan to spend at least a half hour or longer just looking around to see what they have, and don't be surprised if you leave with items you didn't plan on getting because you will find that great deal, something silly, or that perfect gift for someone. Since the store just opened and the staff is new they are still working out a few bugs and learning policies and such, but ALL of the employees we encountered on both of our visits were extremely friendly (not in a forced or fake way) and genuinely seemed like they wanted to help us - unlike some stores where customers are treated like we are a nuisance and the employees go out of their way to avoid helping us, don't know how to smile or even know what eye contact is. It was however a little hard to tell who the employees were since they just wear a lanyard name tag with normal street clothes. But, as I said, they were all great. I do hope this store stays clean and organized. Although the one on 192 has been open longer, it does seem a bit dingy and dirty compared to this store, and the lighting here is better also. Definitely stop in and see what they have, you'll be...

Stopped in last minute to grab Party Supplies about fifteen minutes before closing. The two ladies working were very helpful and courteous. Although we couldn't even focus because the one man working Boss apparently kept following us around like we were stealing. Saying we're closed . From one end of the store to the other. Wasn't only customer either. This was at 7:02 mind you. So we put our stuff down and walked out with out purchasing anything we picked up. Complete racist and behavior showed. Refuse to shop at a place where I am made to feel like a criminal or less than. I know...

I went to 5 below today, to find some wrapping paper for my son's 3rd birthday this month...and I didn't find any, I had my son with me and he's acting up, screaming, cause he didn't get what he wanted. So I got other stuff, cashed out, and the lady ringing me out, looks at her co worker and literally side eyes me. I wish I got her name, here I am a single mother trying to stay calm about a toddler meltdown, and I have a worker side eyeing me...I wanted to say something or go back in and get her...
