I would say that this is a nice, new addition to the Ebensburg scene for shopping. The shopping scene isn't an over the top type of thing here, but it compliments the other stores not only in this plaza (as it dwindles), but in Ebensburg as a whole.
They started to build this, adding onto the plaza, late last year and was slated to open at the beginning of this year. It finally has opened and I am assuming to some fanfare. As other stores are vacating the plaza due to bankruptcy and the other empty storefronts, this was welcomed as an alternative to what is going away.
Like all other Five Belows out there, the offerings are what you would expect. It is great for a last minute stop to pick up items for complimentary gifts and be on your way. Which is how I ended up here.
We showed up and ran in real quick. What we didn't know was how close to closing time we were in the store. As we were shopping, and without noticing the hours of operation they had an employee at the door locking and unlocking as customers were finishing up at the registers.
I rang up my few items I grabbed, mostly bags and cards, at the self checkout register and made my way to the door. Upon exiting we were thanked for coming and quickly on our way back out the door. read more
