We'll admit, we were a little confused when a discount goods store opened in Northern Liberties, which is known for its art galleries and boutiques. It's hard to find anything under five bucks these days, especially in our neighborhood. Can Young, Broke, and Beautiful Appreciate Convenient, Cheap, and Fabulous?
Five to One...and Then Some has proved useful a million times over for us since then, and we're glad to have it right there on 2nd St., for all of those last-minute needs. Whenever we're having a party or wrapping a gift, we stop in for cards, ribbon, bags, paper plates and napkins, and other items, and of course, we always save money doing so!
It helps that the owners of the store, Cheryl Leuzzi and Jean Squitiere are probably the nicest women alive. Walking into the store feels inviting and walking out feels like you just bought something from your best friend.
"We were both paralegals and loved this area. We actually found the spot on a Craigslist ad," says Squitiere.
Why a discount goods store?
"In a recession we felt that people wanted to feel like they were getting good prices. And we both love to shop!" she adds. Squitiere lives in the Northeast and Leuzzi resides in South Philly.
Here is just a short list of some handy items that Five to One carries:
socks
stockings
holiday accessories
birthday stuff
wrapping paper
bows
bags
tape
kitchen utensils
picnic goods
cards
tablecloths
toothbrushes
hair brushes
hair adornments
pens
crayons
note paper
toiletries
and so much more!
