Five Below is marking the launch of its newest store in New Jersey by giving away gift cards.
Located at 625 Hamburg Turnpike in Wayne, the budget-friendly retailer is scheduled to host a grand-opening event Nov. 1.
As part of the festivities, the first 100 guests lined up for the 10 a.m. opening will receive a $10 gift card, according to the chain. The event will also include music, kids’ activities and special prizes, Five Below said.
Founded 23 years ago in a Philadelphia suburb, Five Below sells trend-driven merchandise at everyday low prices across several categories, such as fashion, décor, sports, arts & crafts, celebrations and candy.
Its brick-and-mortar footprint of more than 1,800 stores across the U.S. includes 68 locations in New Jersey.
After opening a record 55 sites in 2024, Five Below aims to add 150 outposts by the end of this year in support of an ongoing expansion effort.
