Five Below and Box Lunch coming to the Northtown area

 Two national retail brands that already have locations in Spokane Valley are evidently investing even more in the Inland Northwest with new building permit applications for new stores in the Northtown Mall area of North Spokane. Those stores are...


Box Lunch

California based Box Lunch is a pop culture gift, memorabilia and fast fashion retailer that recently applied with the City of Spokane to develop a new store within Northtown Mall in suite 2200 on the second floor of the mall. This is going off of public building permit data so there is no opening date listed. However, the store will take 2,570 square feet of space with an estimated remodeling project worth of $180,000.

Box Lunch also already has a location on the ground floor of Spokane Valley Mall. The company is a division of Hot Topic which also owns Hot Topic itself and Torrid, both of which are also already located in Spokane Valley and Northtown Malls.

Five Below

The Pennsylvania based Five Below brand of discount retail stores officially opened their first Spokane area location just a couple of months ago, located in the Evergreen Crossing shopping center by the corner of Evergreen & Indiana in Spokane Valley. But now Five Below is also coming soon to Spokane proper.

Five Below recently applied for a building permit to remodel and build out a store at 4727 N. Division, while not listing a suite number this would be located at the Northtown Square shopping center across N. Division from Northtown Mall. Also, there is no opening date for this new Spokane Five Below store but on building permit data it is noted as an 8,645 square foot store with an estimated remodeling project worth of $170,000

Five Below is a discount retailer with most of their merchandise marked at $5 or below. Except one department of each store selling items, like electronics, above $5 but still discounted. For more information on Five Below, visit their website at https://fivebelow.com
