What's going in next to Joanne's in Snellville?

There is a new retail space being developed between FedEx/Kinko's and Joanne Etc.
The new store will be a Five Below store. A friend of mine has shopped at a Five Below before, and said that it was "kind of cross between a Dollar Tree and Big Lots."

Basically, everything is five dollars or less, hence the name, Five Below :)

You can get a little preview of their store philosophy by visiting the Five Below website.
