I had never stepped foot into a Five Below today, and likely never will again. Maybe it was better…read moreyears ago, especially when things were all mostly $5 and below. I totally understand prices have gone up for everything but lots of stuff seemed more. Also not factoring in the prices the large majority of items looked like complete garbage besides a select few items. Also maybe due to the holidays being so recent may explain it but, but half the store looked ransacked. Would make you believe they may be having a going out of business sale. Only positives I can see are going here for gifts for stocking stuffers or cheap white elephant gifts. Maybe you'll get lucky and find a deal, but I will go elsewhere for higher quality items.

Five and Below has A LOT of stuff. Some of it's junk, let's be honest; but some of it's actually…read morepretty great. I routinely find amazing perfume here that people compliment me on. I've found insanely cool mirrorball cups, glow in the dark nail polishes, fun stocking stuffers, at home spa day essentials, quality party supplies, and more. I think the thing about this store is that you shouldn't come looking to find something in particular (like, when you go to the Dollar Tree looking for something specific, they probably have it or something similar to it). Five Below is the kind of place you come to with no expectations and poke around a bit, maybe you find something fun that day, maybe you don't. This is making me sound like some super consumer, and really I'm not - I don't actually like stuff or things or doodads at all - but this place is pretty fun (especially if you're planning an event, are an actual event planner, or the Pinteresty/party hosting one in your group of friends and family!).

I can usually find a lot of basic clothing at this outlet and tend to buy quite a bit each time I go. The service is usually nonexistent until they realize I'm going to spend a lot. I find that super frustrating but i still go! Unlike other outlets, there's usually all sizes and colors available of whatever is there. The petites section is extensive. They also have accessories for sale right when you come in. I don't see shoes often.

However I do not think I'll be shopping here much longer. I had stopped by to grab a gift the other day and was helped by an older woman I did not recognize. Like I mentioned previously, the staff here is always very friendly and helpful. This woman was not. A minute into asking for her assistance I was disappointed to discover she was down right bossy and pushy, I could tell she was only focused on making the sale and not actually helping me. And when I tried to wave off the help and shop for myself, she lingered and closely watched me shop while chatting my ear off about her children. I'm a mother, god knows I talk about my kids any chance I get-but this just felt excessive and almost manipulative. Eventually the other younger lady happened to pop into the back room and was swift in saving me from the uncomfortable situation. She was very helpful and actually listened to me. On my way out I had also asked her about the lady I had encountered previously and learned that she apparently is the new manager. Needless to say, if that is how this store is going to be run from now on I feel bad for both the staff and customers. I don't think I will be shopping here for much longer. Such a shame since everything is so lovely.

Me and my wife stopped in here randomly to browse, and it ended up being a great spot for grabbing…read morea gift for our little niece. Despite coming to Portland for many years, this spot never caught our eye. My wife is a big fan of stuffies and animal related items in general. I will say that in my opinion the prices here do seem high, but it does appear to be more of custom/smaller created items. I could be incorrect though as I noticed other reviews mention finding similar items cheaper. We did find a perfect gift of a stitched elephant for our niece that we know she will love. The high prices and lack of much enthusiasm and greeting from the workers is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Might be more of a spot to browse than actually purchase from but nonetheless check it out.

I hate to admit this, but: I like this particular Old Navy…read more Sure, 1. their sizing is entirely off (seriously, in what world do I wear an XL pair of shorts, but an XS shirt?). 2. Sometimes the staff here seems robotic ("Have you signed up for our Old Navy card? You can save 10% off your purchase today! HaveyousignedupforourOldNavycard?Youcansave10%offyourpurchasetoday! HAVE YOU SIGNED UP FOR OUR OLD NAVY CARD? YOU CAN SAVE 10% OFF YOUR PURCHASE TODAY! Beep boop bop beep boop."). 3. And the wait to cash out can be overwhelming (PRO TIP: bring a book and read in line while you're waiting). 4. The house music can be irritating (I'm pretty sure there's subliminal messaging in those pseudo-indie pop songs they're playing that convince me to buy more). 5. And how frustrating is it that you can buy something on a Tuesday for $49.99 and two days later it's suddenly on clearance for $9.99?! On the opposite hand: 1. I'm madly in love with their flip-flops and - no joke - have had some that have lasted for years despite daily use. 2. The sizing of their yoga pants is on point. Not only are they durable and excellent for actually practicing in, they're also super comfortable. I'm wearing a pair right now. I will probably wear a pair (maybe the same pair) tomorrow. 3. The staff can be super patient too. Like when I show up at the dressing rooms with 4x more clothing than I'm allowed to try on, and they let me (I gotta hang the extra stuff outside the door, but that's fine). They also take back 143 of my 147 items after I've tried them on without making me feel badly, so I appreciate that. 4. The house music during the holidays is glorious. I didn't know there were fifty two versions of "All I Want For Christmas", but I wanna listen to them all, back-to-back, on repeat. And ON gifts me that. 5. And their clearance section? Sometimes it's magical and clean and lovely over there. Other times it feels like a post-apocalyptic riot just happened. Of all the Old Navy's in Maine, this is my go to (in the morning when they first open, that is).

The place focuses on high end fashion, presented on racks and shelves in a fairly efficient way. I don't like when boutiques go nuts draping their sweaters and pants over pieces of art, or suspending it from the ceiling. It's clothing. It'll speak for itself. Anyway, Zane avoids that troublesome trend and shows off the goods in typically Portland straight-forwardness. Definitely worth a quick stop in if you need a top, jewelry, or want to be a polite boyfriend and stand there holding a purse.
