Hi, one of my stores out of the three of them in Syracuse, New York, that I’ve been to has converted into five and beyond. Cicero, New York has converted into five and beyond. When I went in there the other day with my grandma, we noticed five and beyond took over that store. Not only do you have cute, five dollar cell phone chargers, and iPhone cases you have five and beyond $20 and up prices on some stuff. The price hike got video doorbells, portable speakers, and even a robot vacuum cleaner. I remember any old five below seeing a robot vacuum cleaner but it was $20 still back then in the old style five and below and I was confused why would a $20 vacuum be at a five dollar store. Then a couple years later five and beyond makes its debut and comes out so now, you can get vacuum cleaners and all kinds of stuff. I’m thinking of upgrading my doorbell to the video doorbell because I saw a person doing a boxing of it online here on KZitem and it does have motion sensing which is great which is what I want because I have one now that doesn’t have motion sensing and I am annoyed when the delivery people come to deliver. They just kicked my packages or my bags right in front of the door and don’t ring the doorbell like I have them instructed to in the instructions and I don’t know it’s there and it sits there for like an hour or two hours with me not knowing until the app updates and alerts me and says, how was your delivery. So pretty cool you can get a ring doorbell for only 20 bucks at five below. Five below has changed over the years, but is still the five below store that I like to go to for my portable chargers, power banks, wireless iPhone, chargers, and computer gear.

I was honestly surprised to see the local Party City in my area close! Then, I thought about how convenient (and possibly cheaper) it was to buy everything online. I think it’s still nice to go to a brick and mortar store to shop for things, especially when you need it right away.

I really hope Ames does come back, however, these idiots in corporate need to knock off the brick and mortar concept. That idea is an absolute no go. It’s a waste of space as well as a huge waste of money. By 2030, the name of the game is virtuality. Most people want to do their business online and brick and mortar stores will be nothing more than staging areas for people to pick up whatever they order. 10 below, or five below or whatever the hell they want to call them selves will be approaching a cliff and looking down, there’s nothing impressive about what they sell that places like dollar tree, Dollar General, as well as Walmart couldn’t sell. Party city will eventually go out of business, the competition in their particular category is far too high other businesses that are on their way out as this year goes by are places like bed bath and beyond as well as mattress firm

Wow, I bet you are the life at parties damn but I disagree with you about brick and mortar disappearing. That would be stupid because people still like to actually go out to shop I see a lot of stores with good foot traffic everyday tbh

@@thebestchannel5456 and I disagree with you as well, the only time you see major foot, traffic to brick and border stores is during major holidays, why don’t you look at what foot traffic at these places look like right after the new year or during the summer. The same damn prices retailers sell items for on black Friday. at some point during the year in the summer was on sale for the same exact prices overwhelming proof, that brick and mortar stores are highly overrated. As far as you, deciding, whether or not I’m the life of the party, go bang yourself in the dark.

Oh yeah haven’t done a news video in a while. So Party City was staple of childhood for me I would go there all the time to even buy my mom or dad balloons for there birthdays. Great memories, For Bed Bath And Beyond I went there along time ago and don’t remember what happened when I went there as for Five Below they have pretty good stuff there like CANDY!!!!! A lot of it too. Like I said I’m so happy that Ames is coming back because I think the revival is true, BUT NOW ZELLERS!!! Omg this is awsome I will get to experience some of the stores that existed in the early 80s and 90s that never made it into the late 2010s or 2020s this exciting. so I have a question then, do you think that these companies returning may show other companies from early 2000s or even the 90s that they could have potential comebacks as well? For me I think this possibility is super high.😊❤👍

Honestly Party City not surprising because the one that used to be in Hiram, Georgia was extremely rundown and overpriced it was really nice when that one first opened in 2011, but it only lasted for a few years then became Old Navy a couple of years after I moved to PCB/PC, Florida of course, now Five Below is my favorite retail store besides Academy Sports and sad and long forgotten Toys R Us and Kb Toys of course, anyways Five Below is amazing great prices and good products the only true bad experience I had with the one in Panama City, Florida off of 23rd Street was: One of my Xbox games was missing a disc, everything else has been great from there including the clothes, never heard of or been to Ames and Zellers same thing but yeah I knew about the failure of Target in Canada they reminded of Walmart in the Us except cleaner and nicer of course, but yeah definitely won’t miss Party City actually! 🤔 I am glad Five Below and Academy Sports are expanding they should because they are like how Home Depot, Lowe’s, Target, Walmart, and Dollar General are doing far as growth and surviving goes! 🤔

Both Bed, Bath and Beyond stores in my areas are closed. They had cool items and were a good place to go to for little gifts and gadgets. After a while, e-commerce became more popular and that eventually did them in.
