Properties, in its own words

In September 2016, we signed a fifteen-year lease for a new corporate headquarters location in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to accommodate our current and anticipated future growth. We currently occupy approximately 230,000 square feet of office space with multiple options to expand in the future. The lease agreement expires in early 2033 with three successive options to renew for additional terms of up to approximately fifteen years.

In fiscal 2015, we opened a shipcenter in Pedricktown, New Jersey. We currently occupy approximately 1,000,000 square feet at this shipcenter, having expanded from 800,000 square feet in September 2018 and it is leased under a lease agreement expiring in 2030 with options to renew for two successive five-year periods. In March 2019, we completed the purchase of an approximately 700,000 square foot shipcenter in Forsyth, Georgia for approximately $42 million, for the land and building. We began operating the shipcenter in April 2019 and expanded to approximately 1,100,000 square feet in the first half of 2024. The total construction cost of the expansion was approximately $21 million. In August 2019, we acquired land in Conroe, Texas, to build an approximately 860,000 square foot shipcenter for approximately $56 million, for the land and building. We began operating the shipcenter in July 2020. In July 2020, we acquired land in Buckeye, Arizona, to build an approximately 860,000 square foot shipcenter for approximately $65 million, for the land and building. We began operating the shipcenter in August 2021 and expanded to approximately 1,200,000 square feet in the second half of 2024. The total construction cost of the expansion was approximately $26 million. In March 2021, we acquired land in Indianapolis, Indiana, to build an approximately 1,030,000 square foot shipcenter for approximately $60 million, for land and building. We began operating the shipcenter in June 2022. As a result of the significant expansion of our network of distribution facilities over the last several years, including the opening of our Indianapolis, Indiana shipcenter in June 2022, we ceased operations at our shipcenters in Olive Branch, Mississippi and Cincinnati, Ohio in the first half of fiscal 2022 as well as the e-commerce shipcenter operations in our Pedricktown, New Jersey shipcenter in the first half of fiscal 2023 and in our Buckeye, Arizona shipcenter in the back half of fiscal 2025.

The rest of Item 2

At the end of fiscal 2025, there were 1,921 Five Below store locations in 46 states. All of our stores are leased from third parties. These leases typically have ten-year terms with additional five-year renewal options, and many provide us with the option to terminate early under specified conditions. In addition to future minimum lease payments, some of our store leases require additional rental payments based on a percentage of net sales if sales at the respective stores exceed specified levels, as well as the payment of common area maintenance charges, real property insurance and real estate taxes. Many of our lease agreements have defined escalating rent provisions over the initial term and any extensions.

The story

David Schlessinger, founder of Encore Books and Zany Brainy, and Tom Vellios, former CEO of Zany Brainy, founded Five Below on October 4, 2002 in Wayne, Pennsylvania.

On March 18, 2020, Five Below announced the temporary closure of all of its stores due to the COVID-19 outbreak. However, by June 6, 2020, 100% of Five Below stores across the United States reopened with plans for new stores to open up. This may account for an increase in foot traffic in 2022-2023, as reported by Unacast, a company that provides location insights. According to Unacast, Five Below experienced "a remarkable 63% year-over-year increase in foot traffic" between Q2 2022 to Q2 2023.

Growth and expansion

To date, Five Below operates over 2,000 locations in 47 states.. It began its outward expansion away from the Philadelphia Metro area by entering additional out-of-state markets: Illinois and Michigan in 2011; Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, and Western Michigan in 2012; Texas in 2013; Tennessee in 2014; Alabama, Florida, and Kentucky in 2015; Louisiana, Minnesota, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Wisconsin in 2016; California in 2017; and Arkansas in 2018. Five Below in 2019 publicly stated that they could build as many as 2,500 U.S. stores in the future. Arizona, Iowa, and Nebraska were introduced that year. Colorado and Nevada were added in 2020; New Mexico and Utah in 2021. Both Dakotas had opened new stores in 2022. Vermont joined in the next year. Wyoming was added in 2024. 2025 saw the first stores in Oregon & Washington open. Idaho, in August 2026, saw their first store open in Lewiston, leaving Montana, the remaining continental state, to open later.

In September 2014, the company announced a new lease agreement to move its New Castle, Delaware, distribution center to Oldmans Township, New Jersey. The new center would add 275 jobs to the local economy while Delaware would lose 175.

On July 19, 2012, Five Below went public on the NASDAQ at the share price of $17. In 2014, Joel Anderson was appointed CEO. 2016 sales were $1 billion, 2017 sales were $1.3 billion, and 2022 sales reached $3.08 billion.

In 2018, Five Below moved its corporate headquarters, now called WowTown, to the Lit Brothers Building in the Market East section of Philadelphia, and has rights to more than 200,000 square feet. WowTown has over 300 employees.

On July 16, 2024, Five Below announced Joel Anderson had resigned from his roles as president and CEO to pursue other interests.

Following his departure, Five Below's shares fell by 25%. On the same day Petco named him as their new CEO.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Five Below names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 19, 2026: 33 risks under these headings, as written.19

  • Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry
  • Inflation and rising commodity prices could adversely affect our business.
  • We may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy on a timely basis or at all, which could harm our growth and results of operations.
  • Any disruption in our ability to select, obtain, distribute and market merchandise attractive to customers at prices that allow us to profitably sell such merchandise could impact our business negatively.
  • Our reliance on merchandise manufactured outside of the United States subjects us to legal, regulatory, political and economic risks. In particular, tariffs imposed by the U.S. government have increased, and could further increase, the cost to us of certain products, which lowers our margins, increases our import related expenses, causes us to increase our prices to consumers, and reduces consumer spending on discretionary items, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of future operations.
  • We have implemented price increases in an effort to mitigate current and future cost increases. These or future price increases could reduce our unit sales, damage our reputation with our customers as an extreme value retailer, or cause us to become less competitive in the marketplace, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of future operations.
  • Our sales depend on a volume of traffic to our stores, and a reduction in traffic to, or the closing of, anchor tenants and other destination retailers in the shopping centers in which our stores are located could significantly reduce our sales and leave us with excess inventory.
  • Our new store growth is dependent upon our ability to successfully expand our distribution network capacity, and failure to achieve or sustain these plans could affect our performance adversely.
  • A significant disruption to our distribution network or to the timely receipt of inventory could adversely impact sales or increase our transportation costs, which would decrease our profits.
  • Extreme weather conditions common to areas in which many of our stores are located could negatively affect our business and results of operations, particularly as such extreme conditions occur during what is typically our most profitable quarter.
  • A significant disruption in our information technology systems and our inability to adequately maintain and update those systems could adversely affect our operations and negatively affect our customers.
  • If we are unable to secure our customers’ confidential or credit card information, or other private data relating to our crew or our Company, we could be subject to negative publicity, costly government enforcement actions or private litigation, which could damage our business reputation and adversely affect our financial results.
The other 22 risks
  • We use, and may over time increase the usage of, machine learning and other types of artificial intelligence in our business, and challenges with properly managing its use could adversely affect our business.
  • We are subject to customer payment-related risks that could increase operating costs or exposure to fraud or theft, subject us to potential liability and potentially disrupt our business.
  • Our growth from existing stores is dependent upon our ability to increase sales and improve the efficiencies, costs and effectiveness of our operations, and failure to achieve or sustain these plans could affect our performance adversely.
  • Our success depends on our executive officers, senior management, district, store, and shipcenter managers, and other key personnel. If we lose our executive officers, senior management, district, store, and shipcenter managers, or any other key personnel, or are unable to hire additional qualified personnel, our business could be harmed.
  • Our profitability and cash flows from operations may be negatively affected if we are not successful in managing our inventory balances and inventory shrinkage.
  • Our business requires that we lease substantial amounts of space and there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to lease space on terms as favorable as the leases negotiated in the past.
  • Operational difficulties, including those associated with our ability to either lease or build and operate our shipcenters, could adversely impact our business.
  • We operate in a competitive environment and, as a result, we may not be able to compete effectively or maintain or increase our sales, market shares or margins.
  • Our business is seasonal, and adverse events during the holiday season could have a substantial negative impact on our operating results.
  • We may not be successful in our continued expansion into online retail and if we are successful, we will face new risks and challenges, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
  • Our inability to upgrade or expand our technology systems as a result of external factors, staffing shortages or difficulties in updating our existing technology or developing or implementing new technology could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.
  • We are exposed to the risk of natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, pandemic outbreaks, global political events, war and terrorism that could disrupt business and result in lower sales, increased operating costs and capital expenditures.
  • Changes to federal, state or provincial income tax legislation could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
  • Our current insurance programs may expose us to unexpected costs and negatively affect our financial performance.
  • If we are unable to enforce our intellectual property rights, if we are accused of infringing a third-party’s intellectual property rights, or if the merchandise we purchase from brand partners is alleged to have infringed a third-party’s intellectual property rights, our business or results of operations may be adversely affected.
  • Product and food safety claims and the effects of legislation and regulations on product safety and quality and food safety and quality could affect our sales and results of operations adversely.
  • The terms and availability of our revolving credit facility may restrict our current and future operations, which could adversely affect our ability to respond to changes in our business and to manage our operations.
  • Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
  • Our stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance.
  • Our business and reputation may be adversely affected by certain corporate responsibility matters.
  • Your percentage ownership in us may be diluted by future equity issuances, which could reduce your influence over matters on which shareholders vote.
  • We do not expect to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future.
  • Anti-takeover provisions could delay and discourage takeover attempts that shareholders may consider to be favorable.

Legal proceedings

We are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, investigations, disputes, and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. Such matters from time to time include commercial, intellectual property, customer, consumer, and employment proceedings, including class action lawsuits. The plaintiffs and government authorities in some actions may seek unspecified damages, injunctive relief, penalties and cost reimbursement. Actions are in various procedural stages, and some are covered in part by insurance. We cannot predict with assurance the outcome of actions brought against us. Accordingly, adverse developments, settlements, or resolutions may occur and negatively impact income in the quarter of such development, settlement or resolution. If a potential loss arising from these lawsuits, claims and pending actions is probable and reasonably estimable, we record the estimated liability based on circumstances and assumptions existing at the time. Although the outcome of these and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
