Popular Discount Retailer Five Below To Open 9th Capital Region Store

When one store closes, another one opens.

Yes, 2025 has been a rough year with many chain stores closing in the Capital Region. But it has not been all doom and gloom. Several new businesses have seized the opportunity to set up shop in some prime retail locations. Ted's Fish Fry opened a new restaurant in Ballston Spa, Aldi supermarket announced they are adding a new location in Latham, and Bas Pro Shops opened in Clifton Park to huge fanfare this summer, just to name a few.

Five Below To Open Clifton Park Store

If you love bargain shopping, you already know what Five Below is all about.

Never been to Five Below? Think Dollar Store, but with a $5-and-below price point on items that its website says include "...atyle, room, sorts, tech, create, party, candy, and new & now."

Those new items will soon be available at a new store set to open at Clifton Park Center. The store is currently being built next door to Lane Bryant, and a sign outside (pictured above) says they are now hiring. Several full-time positions for the new store are currently posted on the Five Below careers website. 

Five Below already operates 8 other Capital Region stores in Latham, Schenectady, Colonie Center, Crossgates Mall, Rensselaer, Glenmont, Saratoga Springs, and Amsterdam.

The new Clifton Park store location has not yet been listed on the Five Below website, and an exact opening date should be forthcoming.
