Redefining cheap chic, Five Below is a trendy retailer where everything costs $5 or less. From iPad speakers to fashion accessories to video games, Five Below is a cut -- and several bucks -- above the useless dollar-store fluff.
Yes, there are plenty of thrift stores and discount outlets out there, but Five Below is the only one that's making cheap merchandise cool for its youngish clientele.The company is expanding quickly, and going public several months ago will help bankroll the next leg of building out its magnetic stores.
