It’s going to be a rough year for retail, unless you’re running a discount store. That’s why Five Below, a fun and quirky version of a dollar store with lots of kids toys, decor, and seasonal items, is quickly expanding. The chain has dozens of new openings planned for the next two months, so get ready for all the cheap Easter basket goodies and sporting goods you could ever want. Here’s where Five Below is opening new locations soon.

Why Is Five Below Opening New Stores?

Five Below has been doing well even while other chains are closing. Last year, the company announced that it planned to open 150 new stores in 2025. That was spurred on by net sales up 23% over the previous year and net income up $33 million, according to Fast Company. Those are some big numbers.

As inflation, tariffs, and growing unemployment hit shoppers, they’re looking to stretch their hard-earned dollar further. Chains like Five Below, TJ Maxx, and Dollar Tree help them do that, so we’re not surprised that any of them are expanding. We love strolling through Five Below for some cheap retail therapy, and clearly other people do as well. 

Where Are the New Five Below Stores Opening?

There are dozens of new Five Below stores opening in the next two months, according to a “coming soon” page on the chain’s website. They’re spread across 24 states, so no matter where you live, you might have a new store near you soon. Here are the new Five Below locations and their grand opening dates, organized by state.
