Five Below quietly announced in January 2013 that they had plans to expand their stores across the country and that their first stop would be in the great state of Texas. That has come to fruition. JTA moderator flamingtoilet send us proof that new stores are opening in September. Click through for his report. This is great news for local Star Wars collectors!

I don't know if this counts as newsworthy or not... Okay it does! Five Below is coming to Texas! I wasn't able to get a picture because I was driving by, but I saw the signage and the storefront in South Fort Worth, TX today, with a grand opening date of late-September (I think September 26 but I couldn't be sure)! I'm not sure, but hopefully there are more, but this is the only one I've actually seen around so far. Wheelbarrows of TVC figures are finally coming to Texas! Yee haw! This is in Dallas at the Prestonwood Shopping Center between Belt Line and Arapaho on Montfort. By Walmart.
