Update on New Five Below in Gaithersburg

Permanent signage is up at the upcoming Five Below at 516 N Frederick Ave in Gaithersburg, the former location of Chuck E. Cheese.  No opening date has been announced but the coming soon signage has now been updated to say “Summer 2022” instead of “Spring 2022”. Five Below has additional Montgomery County locations in Gaithersburg (Kentlands), Germantown, Rockville, and Silver Spring.  A representative from the Kentlands location told us last year that the new Gaithersburg store is not replacing the current Gaithersburg location.
Construction status of the store’s interior below:

Also at Gaithersburg Square, teen accessory chain Claire’s new location is scheduled to open Tuesday,  May 31. It is taking over the former Grog’s Beer and Wine location between AT&T and Ashley Furniture Homestore. The Claire’s located a quarter of a mile away inside of Lakeforest Mall is now closed.
