I was shopping in the Austell area and decided to visit Five Below because, why not?! I'm a fan of the brand so when I see one in the area, I always like to poke my head in to see what goodies I can pick up on the low.
This Five Below is located in a large plaza with plenty of parking. It was an extremely tidy and quiet area, even on a Saturday afternoon. When I walked up to the door, I was surprised to see that they were actually noted as the 1,500th store and only recently opened - how cool!
All Five Below locations have the same flow and I'm not mad at it. This one was stocked quite well, especially for the holiday season. As well as being quite tidy. They had a great selection of seasonal decor, candies, stocking stuffers and anything else I feel like one could ask for. Beyond their holiday options, the other departments were also stocked to the brim. I love how Five Below has upgraded some of their departments like their home decor, although I don't love that they aren't well, $5 or below, lol. Since I didn't really go into the store with a list or plan in mind, I didn't go crazy but walked out with a shiny gold plastic tree that goes along with my Christmas decor and a few of their cute screen printed tees that are always my favorites.
There weren't many sales associates on the floor but I don't think they need them as the store kinda speaks for itself, smart way to save on costs. They also only had self-checkout which I am always a fan of. A great stop into a new location! read more
