Extreme value retailing, often referred to under the Dollar Stores category, had been growing locations while expanding product lines at an encouraging pace, well before the current recession.\u00a0 Five Below has created a unique niche within the extreme value category.<\/p>\n

The Philadelphia-based retailer offers a diverse assortment of what it terms trend-right, extreme-value merchandise to the teen and pre-teen market – all for $1.00 to $5.00.\u00a0 Self-described products cover Sports (including toys and games), Media (books, DVDs and video games), Crafts, Candy (including beverages), Room (d\u00e9cor, storage) and Style (jewelry, bath & body, makeup & beauty).<\/p>\n
