Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of Business Five Below, Inc. (collectively referred to herein with its wholly owned subsidiary as the "Company") is a specialty value retailer offering merchandise targeted at the teen and pre-teen demographic. The Company offers an edited assortment of products, priced at $5 and below. The Company’s edited assortment of products includes select brands and licensed merchandise. The Company believes its merchandise is readily available, and that there are a number of potential vendors that could be utilized, if necessary, under approximately the same terms the Company is currently receiving; thus, it is not dependent on a single vendor or a group of vendors. The Company is incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and, as of August 4, 2018 , operated in 33 states that include Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, West Virginia, North Carolina, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Maine, Alabama, Kentucky, Kansas, Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Minnesota, California and Arkansas. As of August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , the Company operated 692 stores and 584 stores, respectively, each operating under the name “Five Below” and in August 2016, the Company commenced selling merchandise on the internet, through the Company's fivebelow.com e-commerce website. (b) Fiscal Year The Company operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to "fiscal year 2018" or "fiscal 2018" refer to the period from February 4, 2018 to February 2, 2019, which is a 52-week fiscal year. References to "fiscal year 2017" or "fiscal 2017" refer to the period from January 29, 2017 to February 3, 2018, which is a 53-week fiscal year. The fiscal quarters ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 refer to the thirteen weeks ended as of those dates. The year-to-date periods ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 refer to the twenty-six weeks ended as of those dates. (c) Basis of Presentation The consolidated balance sheets as of August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , the consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 have been prepared by the Company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the aforementioned financial statements include all known adjustments (which consist primarily of normal, recurring accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) necessary to present fairly the financial position at the balance sheet dates and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 . The balance sheet as of February 3, 2018 , presented herein, has been derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2017 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2018 and referred to herein as the “Annual Report,” but does not include all annual disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018 and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report. The consolidated results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated operating results for the year ending February 2, 2019 or any other period. The Company's business is seasonal and as a result, the Company's net sales fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Net sales are usually highest in the fourth fiscal quarter due to the year-end holiday season. (d) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." ASU 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers and outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. On February 4, 2018, the Company adopted the pronouncement using the modified retrospective method by recognizing the cumulative effect of gift card breakage as an adjustment to retained earnings resulting in a $0.5 million increase to retained earnings. The comparative information for the years ended prior to February 4, 2018 were not restated to comply with the pronouncement. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 requires that lease arrangements longer than 12 months result in an entity recognizing an asset and a liability. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The standard requires use of the modified retrospective transition approach. The Company plans to adopt this pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, coinciding with the pronouncement's effective date. The Company’s ability to adopt this standard depends on various factors including system readiness and completing an analysis of information necessary to quantify the financial statement impact. The Company has selected its leasing software solution and is in the process of identifying changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support the adoption of this standard. While the Company is still evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements, it expects it will result in a significant increase in total assets and total liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet given that the Company has a significant number of leases for its stores. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract." ASU 2018-15 requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred over the noncancellable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods (1) that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or (2) for which exercise of the renewal option is controlled by the cloud service provider. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The standard can be adopted either using the prospective or retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures. (e) Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment, valuation allowances for inventories, income taxes and share-based compensation expense. (f) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation at the measurement date: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs, other than Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable. Level 3: Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions which reflect those that market participants would use. The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investment securities, accounts payable, and borrowings, if any, under a line of credit. The Company believes that: (1) the carrying value of cash equivalents and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments; and (2) the carrying value of the borrowings, if any, under the line of credit approximates fair value because the line of credit’s interest rates vary with market interest rates. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair market values of the short-term and long-term investments in corporate bonds are level 1 while the short-term and long-term investments in municipal bonds are level 2. The fair market values of level 2 instruments are determined by management with the assistance of a third party pricing service. Since quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available, these prices are determined by the third party pricing service using observable market information such as quotes from less active markets and quoted prices of similar securities. As of August 4, 2018 , February 3, 2018 , and July 29, 2017 , the Company had cash equivalents of $63.9 million , $91.2 million and $35.8 million , respectively. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of credit and debit card receivables, money market funds, corporate bonds, and municipal bonds. Fair value for cash equivalents was determined based on level 1 inputs. As of August 4, 2018 , February 3, 2018 , and July 29, 2017 , the Company's short-term and long-term investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity since the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investments to maturity. Such securities are carried at amortized cost plus accrued interest and consist of the following (in thousands): As of August 4, 2018 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Market Value Short-term: Corporate bonds $ 125,027 $ — $ 222 $ 124,805 Municipal bonds 6,414 — 5 6,409 Total $ 131,441 $ — $ 227 $ 131,214 Long-term: Corporate bonds $ 1,404 $ — $ — $ 1,404 Total $ 1,404 $ — $ — $ 1,404 As of February 3, 2018 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Market Value Short-term: Corporate bonds $ 117,373 $ — $ 177 $ 117,196 Municipal bonds 14,585 — — 14,585 Total $ 131,958 $ — $ 177 $ 131,781 Long-term: Corporate bonds $ 25,465 $ — $ 170 $ 25,295 Municipal bonds 2,237 — 2 2,235 Total $ 27,702 $ — $ 172 $ 27,530 As of July 29, 2017 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Market Value Short-term: Corporate bonds $ 74,177 $ — $ 48 $ 74,129 Municipal bonds 18,544 10 — 18,554 Total $ 92,721 $ 10 $ 48 $ 92,683 Short-term investment securities as of August 4, 2018 , February 3, 2018 , and July 29, 2017 all mature in one year or less. Long-term investment securities as of August 4, 2018 , February 3, 2018 , and July 29, 2017 all mature after one year but in less than three years. (g) Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets Prepaid expenses as of August 4, 2018 , February 3, 2018 , and July 29, 2017 were $32.7 million , $17.8 million , and $16.7 million , respectively. Other current assets as of August 4, 2018 , February 3, 2018 , and July 29, 2017 were $17.5 million , $27.6 million , and $18.2 million , respectively. (h) Other Accrued Expenses Other accrued expenses include accrued capital expenditures of $15.6 million , $5.0 million , and $7.5 million as of August 4, 2018 , February 3, 2018 , and July 29, 2017 , respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Income (Loss) Per Common Share	Income Per Common Share Basic income per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and include the dilutive impact of exercised stock options as well as assumed lapse of restrictions on restricted stock awards and shares currently available for purchase under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, using the treasury stock method. Performance-based restricted stock units are considered contingently issuable shares for diluted income per common share purposes and the dilutive impact, if any, is not included in the weighted average shares until the performance conditions are met. The following table reconciles net income and the weighted average common shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted income per common share (in thousands, except for share and per share data): Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 4, 2018 July 29, 2017 August 4, 2018 July 29, 2017 Numerator: Net income $ 25,063 $ 16,804 $ 46,867 $ 25,195 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 55,730,621 55,150,108 55,671,729 55,101,406 Dilutive impact of options, restricted stock units and employee stock purchase plan 461,363 369,195 438,632 321,628 Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted 56,191,984 55,519,303 56,110,361 55,423,034 Per common share: Basic income per common share $ 0.45 $ 0.30 $ 0.84 $ 0.46 Diluted income per common share $ 0.45 $ 0.30 $ 0.84 $ 0.45 The effects of the assumed exercise of restricted stock units for 4,592 and 2,296 shares of common stock for the thirteen weeks ended and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 , respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. The effects of the assumed exercise of stock options for 53,480 and 133,248 shares of common stock for the thirteen weeks ended and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2017 , respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. The effects of the assumed exercise of restricted stock units of 387 and 26,646 shares of common stock for the thirteen weeks ended and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2017 , respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. The aforementioned excluded shares do not reflect the impact of any incremental repurchases under the treasury stock method.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Financing Transactions, Line of Credit and Note Payable	Line of Credit On May 10, 2017, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Loan and Security Agreement”), among the Company, Five Below Merchandising, Inc. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Amended Loan and Security Agreement amends and restates the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated June 12, 2013, among the Company, Five Below Merchandising, Inc. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, which governed the Revolving Credit Facility. The Amended Loan and Security Agreement includes a revolving line of credit in the amount of up to $20.0 million (the “Amended Revolving Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, advances under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility are no longer tied to a borrowing base; however, the Company is required to maintain eligible inventory at all times in an amount equal to at least $100.0 million . The Amended Revolving Credit Facility expires on the earliest to occur of (i) May 10, 2022 or (ii) an event of default. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility may be increased to up to $50.0 million , subject to certain conditions. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility also includes a $20.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit. The Amended Loan and Security Agreement reduces the interest rate payable on borrowings to be, at the Company’s option, a per annum rate equal to (a) a prime rate or (b) a LIBOR-based rate plus a margin of 1.00% . Letter of credit fees are equal to the interest rate payable on LIBOR-based loans. The interest rate and letter of credit fees under the Amended Loan and Security Agreement are subject to an increase of 2.00% per annum upon an event of default. The Amended Loan and Security Agreement removes restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay or make dividends and distribute or repurchase its stock, but the Amended Loan and Security Agreement continues to include other customary negative and affirmative covenants including, among other things, limitations on the Company’s ability to (i) incur additional debt; (ii) create liens; (iii) make certain investments, loans and advances; (iv) sell assets; (v) engage in mergers or consolidations; or (vi) change its business. The Amended Loan and Security Agreement also removes the provisions that required the Company to make prepayments on outstanding Amended Revolving Credit Facility balances upon the receipt of certain proceeds, including those from the sale of certain assets. Amounts under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility may become due upon certain events of default including, among other things, the Company’s failure to comply with the Amended Revolving Credit Facility’s covenants, bankruptcy, default on certain other indebtedness or a change in control. Under the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, all obligations under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility continue to be guaranteed by Five Below Merchandising, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and Five Below Merchandising, Inc. As of August 4, 2018 , the Company had no borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and had approximately $20.0 million available on the line of credit. All obligations under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and are guaranteed by the Company's subsidiary. As of August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , the Company was in compliance with the covenants applicable to it under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Commitments Leases The Company leases property and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Certain retail store lease agreements provide for contingent rental payments if the store’s net sales exceed stated levels (percentage rents) and/or contain escalation clauses, which provide for increases in base rental payments for increases in future operating costs.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA") was enacted. The TCJA includes a number of changes to existing U.S. tax laws that impact the Company, most notably a reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% , for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. The TCJA also provides for acceleration of depreciation for certain assets placed into service after September 27, 2017, as well as prospective changes beginning in 2018, including additional limitations on deductibility of executive compensation and employee meal benefits. In fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a net $0.5 million benefit that represents what the Company believes is the impact of the TCJA. As the benefit is based on currently available information and interpretations, which are continuing to evolve, the benefit should be considered provisional. The Company will continue to analyze additional information and guidance related to the TCJA as supplemental legislation, regulatory guidance, or evolving technical interpretations become available. The final impacts may differ from the recorded amounts in fiscal 2017, and the Company will continue to refine such amounts within the measurement period provided by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 (dollars in thousands): Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 4, 2018 July 29, 2017 August 4, 2018 July 29, 2017 Income before income taxes $ 31,405 $ 26,560 $ 57,190 $ 39,651 Income tax expense $ 6,342 $ 9,756 $ 10,323 $ 14,456 Effective tax rate 20.2 % 36.7 % 18.1 % 36.5 % The effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 were based on the Company’s forecasted annualized effective tax rates and were adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented. The effective tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 was lower than such rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2017 primarily due to the impact of tax reform as a result of the TCJA and due to discrete items, which include the recognition of net excess income tax benefits related to ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," with respect to the requirement to recognize excess income tax benefits or deficiencies as income tax benefit or expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company had no material accrual for uncertain tax positions or interest and/or penalties related to income taxes on the Company’s balance sheets as of August 4, 2018 , February 3, 2018 , or July 29, 2017 and has not recognized any material uncertain tax positions or interest and/or penalties related to income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 or July 29, 2017 . The Company files a federal income tax return as well as state tax returns. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2015 and thereafter remain subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. State returns are filed in various state jurisdictions, as appropriate, with varying statutes of limitation and remain subject to examination for varying periods up to three to four years depending on the state.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	(f) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation at the measurement date: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs, other than Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable. Level 3: Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions which reflect those that market participants would use. The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investment securities, accounts payable, and borrowings, if any, under a line of credit. The Company believes that: (1) the carrying value of cash equivalents and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments; and (2) the carrying value of the borrowings, if any, under the line of credit approximates fair value because the line of credit’s interest rates vary with market interest rates. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair market values of the short-term and long-term investments in corporate bonds are level 1 while the short-term and long-term investments in municipal bonds are level 2. The fair market values of level 2 instruments are determined by management with the assistance of a third party pricing service. Since quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available, these prices are determined by the third party pricing service using observable market information such as quotes from less active markets and quoted prices of similar securities. As of August 4, 2018 , February 3, 2018 , and July 29, 2017 , the Company had cash equivalents of $63.9 million , $91.2 million and $35.8 million , respectively. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of credit and debit card receivables, money market funds, corporate bonds, and municipal bonds. Fair value for cash equivalents was determined based on level 1 inputs. As of August 4, 2018 , February 3, 2018 , and July 29, 2017 , the Company's short-term and long-term investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity since the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investments to maturity. Such securities are carried at amortized cost plus accrued interest and consist of the following (in thousands): As of August 4, 2018 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Market Value Short-term: Corporate bonds $ 125,027 $ — $ 222 $ 124,805 Municipal bonds 6,414 — 5 6,409 Total $ 131,441 $ — $ 227 $ 131,214 Long-term: Corporate bonds $ 1,404 $ — $ — $ 1,404 Total $ 1,404 $ — $ — $ 1,404 As of February 3, 2018 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Market Value Short-term: Corporate bonds $ 117,373 $ — $ 177 $ 117,196 Municipal bonds 14,585 — — 14,585 Total $ 131,958 $ — $ 177 $ 131,781 Long-term: Corporate bonds $ 25,465 $ — $ 170 $ 25,295 Municipal bonds 2,237 — 2 2,235 Total $ 27,702 $ — $ 172 $ 27,530 As of July 29, 2017 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Market Value Short-term: Corporate bonds $ 74,177 $ — $ 48 $ 74,129 Municipal bonds 18,544 10 — 18,554 Total $ 92,721 $ 10 $ 48 $ 92,683 Short-term investment securities as of August 4, 2018 , February 3, 2018 , and July 29, 2017 all mature in one year or less.

The Company offers an edited assortment of products, priced at $5 and below. The Company’s edited assortment of products includes select brands and licensed merchandise. The Company believes its merchandise is readily available, and that there are a number of potential vendors that could be utilized, if necessary, under approximately the same terms the Company is currently receiving; thus, it is not dependent on a single vendor or a group of vendors. The Company is incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and, as of August 4, 2018 , operated in 33 states that include Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, West Virginia, North Carolina, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Maine, Alabama, Kentucky, Kansas, Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Minnesota, California and Arkansas.

(b) Fiscal Year The Company operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to "fiscal year 2018" or "fiscal 2018" refer to the period from February 4, 2018 to February 2, 2019, which is a 52-week fiscal year. References to "fiscal year 2017" or "fiscal 2017" refer to the period from January 29, 2017 to February 3, 2018, which is a 53-week fiscal year. The fiscal quarters ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 refer to the thirteen weeks ended as of those dates. The year-to-date periods ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 refer to the twenty-six weeks ended as of those dates. (c) Basis of Presentation The consolidated balance sheets as of August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , the consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 have been prepared by the Company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the aforementioned financial statements include all known adjustments (which consist primarily of normal, recurring accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) necessary to present fairly the financial position at the balance sheet dates and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 . The balance sheet as of February 3, 2018 , presented herein, has been derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2017 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2018 and referred to herein as the “Annual Report,” but does not include all annual disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018 and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report. The consolidated results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated operating results for the year ending February 2, 2019 or any other period. The Company's business is seasonal and as a result, the Company's net sales fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Net sales are usually highest in the fourth fiscal quarter due to the year-end holiday season. (d) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." ASU 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers and outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. On February 4, 2018, the Company adopted the pronouncement using the modified retrospective method by recognizing the cumulative effect of gift card breakage as an adjustment to retained earnings resulting in a $0.5 million increase to retained earnings. The comparative information for the years ended prior to February 4, 2018 were not restated to comply with the pronouncement. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 requires that lease arrangements longer than 12 months result in an entity recognizing an asset and a liability. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The standard requires use of the modified retrospective transition approach. The Company plans to adopt this pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, coinciding with the pronouncement's effective date. The Company’s ability to adopt this standard depends on various factors including system readiness and completing an analysis of information necessary to quantify the financial statement impact. The Company has selected its leasing software solution and is in the process of identifying changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support the adoption of this standard. While the Company is still evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements, it expects it will result in a significant increase in total assets and total liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet given that the Company has a significant number of leases for its stores. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract." ASU 2018-15 requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred over the noncancellable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods (1) that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or (2) for which exercise of the renewal option is controlled by the cloud service provider. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The standard can be adopted either using the prospective or retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures. (e) Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment, valuation allowances for inventories, income taxes and share-based compensation expense. (f) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation at the measurement date: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs, other than Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable. Level 3: Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions which reflect those that market participants would use. The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investment securities, accounts payable, and borrowings, if any, under a line of credit. The Company believes that: (1) the carrying value of cash equivalents and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments; and (2) the carrying value of the borrowings, if any, under the line of credit approximates fair value because the line of credit’s interest rates vary with market interest rates. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair market values of the short-term and long-term investments in corporate bonds are level 1 while the short-term and long-term investments in municipal bonds are level 2. The fair market values of level 2 instruments are determined by management with the assistance of a third party pricing service.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 requires that lease arrangements longer than 12 months result in an entity recognizing an asset and a liability. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The standard requires use of the modified retrospective transition approach. The Company plans to adopt this pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, coinciding with the pronouncement's effective date. The Company’s ability to adopt this standard depends on various factors including system readiness and completing an analysis of information necessary to quantify the financial statement impact. The Company has selected its leasing software solution and is in the process of identifying changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support the adoption of this standard. While the Company is still evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements, it expects it will result in a significant increase in total assets and total liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet given that the Company has a significant number of leases for its stores. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract." ASU 2018-15 requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred over the noncancellable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods (1) that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or (2) for which exercise of the renewal option is controlled by the cloud service provider. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The standard can be adopted either using the prospective or retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	(2) Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." ASU 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The Company adopted the standard during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018 using the modified retrospective method by recognizing the cumulative effect as an adjustment to retained earnings. Revenue Transactions Revenue from store operations are recognized at the point of sale when control of the product is transferred to the customer at such time. Internet sales, through the Company's fivebelow.com e-commerce website, are recognized when the consumer receives the product as control transfers upon delivery. Returns subsequent to the period end are immaterial; accordingly, no reserve has been recorded. Gift card sales to customers are initially recorded as liabilities and recognized as sales upon redemption for merchandise or as breakage revenue in proportion to the pattern of redemption of the gift cards by the customer in net sales. The transaction price for the Company’s sales are based on the item’s stated price. To the extent that the Company charges customers for shipping and handling on e-commerce sales, the Company records such amounts in net sales. Shipping and handling costs, which include fulfillment and shipping costs related to the Company's e-commerce operations, are included in costs of goods sold. The Company has chosen the pronouncement's policy election which allows it to exclude all sales taxes from net sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by groups of products: leisure, fashion and home, and party and snack (in thousands): Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirteen Weeks Ended August 4, 2018 July 29, 2017 Amount Percentage of Net Sales Amount Percentage of Net Sales Leisure $ 187,279 53.9 % $ 153,997 54.4 % Fashion and home 100,255 28.8 % 79,724 28.1 % Party and snack 60,200 17.3 % 49,599 17.5 % Total $ 347,734 100.0 % $ 283,320 100.0 % Twenty-Six Weeks Ended Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 4, 2018 July 29, 2017 Amount Percentage of Net Sales Amount Percentage of Net Sales Leisure $ 332,011 51.5 % $ 265,806 51.5 % Fashion and home 191,838 29.8 % 151,064 29.3 % Party and snack 120,207 18.7 % 99,331 19.2 % Total $ 644,056 100.0 % $ 516,201 100.0 % Financial Statement Impact of Adopting ASU 2014-09 All of the Company's revenue is recognized from contracts with customers and, therefore, is subject to ASU 2014-09. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 using a modified retrospective approach during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018 and recognized the cumulative effect as an adjustment by increasing retained earnings by $0.5 million and income taxes payable by $0.1 million , and reducing accrued expenses by $0.7 million and deferred tax asset by $0.1 million . The cumulative adjustment was related to the recognition of gift card breakage. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 had an immaterial impact on the Company’s financial statements for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 .
