The new Five Below location in Big Rapids will be hosting a grand opening on the second weekend of July.

Located at 1250 Perry Avenue, the store plans to open Friday, July 10, and will be open for the following Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. According to a posted Facebook event by Five Below, the store is planning to have activities and trivia in the store along with opening weekend low prices. Store hours have not been confirmed at this time.

The building had been vacant since February 2025, when JoAnn Fabric's filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy and closed down 33 stores across Michigan. Five Below initally began submitting permits in December 2025, marking about 8 months to construction before opening.
