The new Five Below store at the Congressional North shopping center on Rockville Pike will open on June 14, 2019. As you can see, the sign is now in place above the storefront. Here's a sneak peek inside the new store, which sells "cool stuff for $5 or less." Think of it as an upscale dollar store.
Have you ever shopped at 5 Below? It isn’t upscale anything. Mostly poorly made crap

DeleteScooped what? I don’t care who published this first. That has nothing to do with the quality of 5 below.
ReplyDeleteYou care a lot, and your guys were scooped.
DeleteWhat ‘guys’ are you talking about? I have no ‘guys’.
DeleteMy opinion is that Five Below has a lot of crappy stuff. If you were the first to report it then that is great.
Not everything is about you Robert
6:47: My point is pretty solid, that "crappy stuff" that costs $5 is higher quality than "crappy stuff" that sells for $1.
DeleteThe "guys" are the cartel-funded competitors whom a paid troll is forced to spam advertise for in the comment sections of my news sites. For my haters, everything is indeed about me.
"Crappy stuff" that costs $5 costs more than "crappy stuff" that sells for $1.
DeleteAnd my point was the fact that you reported it first has nothing to do with them selling a lot of cheaply made junk.
DeleteI’m so happy and proud that you were the first one but it is hardly Pulitzer material
Circa 2019, this article exceeds Trump-era Pulitzer standards.

DeleteStore Reporte(d) this on January 24.
Delete12:55: No, they didn't. I am first to report this opening date, which was not even determined back on January 24, dumbass.
DeleteI ran out of Coke Zero! Can I blame that on Hans?
ReplyDeleteYes, he voted to ban Walmart.
DeleteNo one has "banned Walmart", silly.
DeleteThe Walmart in Germantown is alive and well and they have plenty of Cokes in a wide range of flavors.
Delete7:08: The Council banned any additional Walmart stores in 2012, deep-sixing planned stores in Rockville and Aspen Hill. Riemer even authored an anti-Walmart bill himself. Now you get to pay $12 more per week for your groceries thanks to the Council. Heckuva job, Brownie!
Delete8:12: That Walmart was already open before the Council banned any more from being built.
I’d laugh only you are serious. Are you unable to recognize subtle humor?
ReplyDeleteI can, but I'm unable to recognize what your comment is referring to.
DeleteThe comment about it being Han’s fault I ran out I’d soda. .
DeleteYou want to save 12 bucks a week? Don’t eat out for every meal. Learn how to cook. Learn how to budget.
Maybe ask one of your sponsors for discounts.
9:15: Most everything is Hans' fault. Alas, cooking and budgeting still do not stop your groceries from costing $12 more a week, thanks to Hans et al blocking Walmart from opening stores in MoCo.
DeleteHeckuva job, Brownie!
Robert, I seem to remeber that the Aspen Hill Walmart fell through because the company didnt want to wait for the land to be zoned retail from its current office zoning. I thought the council then voted to expedite the zoning approval to try and get the store.
ReplyDelete8:31: That was the public line Walmart gave, but in reality there were 3 bills put forward by the Council to block any additional Walmart stores, which forced Walmart to withdraw their plans for Aspen Hill and Rockville.
DeleteSecondarily, Walmart was used as a poison pill by the Council to get the community to support a mixed-use town center for the Vitro site. Once they successfully forced Walmart to back out, the expedited zoning approval allowed mixed-use on the site, not big box retail like Walmart.
The Council was outspoken in its opposition to those two Walmart stores starting 3 years earlier in 2011(!!).
Walmart was "used as a poison pill"?
DeleteSounds like residents don't want it, then.
9:11: LOL - is there something strangely different about Aspen Hill residents compared to literally ever other town in America that has and patronizes Walmart? Come on.
DeleteSo...if the residents of Aspen Hill wanted Walmart, then how was it possible to use it "as a poison pill by the Council to get the community to support a mixed-use town center"?
Delete9:47: A vocal minority may have opposed it. Most people in Aspen Hill can't afford, and are working too hard, to attend planning meetings to testify. They are the same diverse, hard-working people with modest incomes who enter and exit the Germantown Walmart in mass numbers. Stop by and watch the sea of humanity sometime.
