Five Below Store Opens With Fanfare, Contests

Looking over a colorful selection of merchandise priced at $5 or less-hence the name Five Below- Youn Park, general manager of the new Five Below store in Niles' Four Flaggs shopping center, said she was pleased with the steady stream of customers who had been coming in all day during the store's grand opening Friday.

"Oh wow, what can I say? The community has really welcomed us," she said.

"It's been a great experience."

The store, on the southeast corner of Golf Road and Milwaukee Avenue, is having some Grand Opening promotions, such as five-cent hot dogs and hula hoop contests, in which the winners get to keep the hoops. There is also a raffle for a $100 gift card.

The opening celebration continues on Saturday.
