Five Below IncFive Below plans to open its first stores in Puerto Rico in the second half of 2027, marking its entry into a new market as its fleet surpasses 2,000 locations. The retailer reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 net sales of $1.26 billion, up 22.9% from $1.03 billion a year earlier, with comparable sales rising 14.1%. The company ended the quarter with 2,022 stores across 46 states, having opened 52 net new locations during the period. Management described Puerto Rico as a strong customer fit with attractive real estate opportunities, but plans a measured rollout of only a handful of stores initially. Five Below raised its full-year sales guidance but kept its 2026 target of about 150 net new stores, prioritizing execution quality and site selection over faster expansion.
