Five Below Opening First Bangor, Maine Location

It’s Official — Five Below Is Coming to Bangor!

The rumors are true!

With 2026 underway, there are sure to be some new businesses popping up here in the Greater Bangor area, and one in particular, is headed our way.

"Hot prices. Cool stuff". That's the tag line of the Five Below chain.

Five Below is an American chain of specialty discount stores that prices most of its products at $5 or less, plus a smaller assortment of products priced up to $25.

They are set to open a new location at 480 Stillwater Avenue, in Bangor, at the site of the old Party City store.

Founded in 2002, they are primarily aimed at tweens and teens, but feature a wide variety of products. There are over 1,700 stores located across 44 states in the U.S.

One glance at their website gives you an idea of what they sell:

• Fitness
• New & Now
• Room
• Toys & Games
• Tech
• Beauty
• Style
• Arts & Crafts
• Candy & Snacks
• Pet Supplies
