In their announcement, Five Below said the store will feature all the low-cost goodies they're known for - candy and other snacks, children's toys, sports gear, beauty products, tech deals, T-shirts and more. The Northport location will also feature a Five Below Party Shop, offering supplies for events, including helium balloons and decorations.

As the brand name implies, almost all products cost between $1 and $5. Although some items they now carry do exceed the $5 price tag, their press release said they are still an extreme value.

Five Below was founded in 2002 and now boasts more than 1,800 stores in 44 states.
