Tariffs are projected to be a significant concern for retailers throughout 2025, with industry experts warning that if new tariffs take effect, consumer prices could rise within three to six months. This environment creates substantial pressure on companies relying on imported goods.

Discount chains such as Five Below are identified as being particularly vulnerable to these tariff impacts. Given their business model centered on extreme value, these retailers face challenges in absorbing increased costs without compromising their core value proposition.

Five Below and other discount retailers are actively strategizing with production shifts and price mitigation efforts to prepare for potential price hikes. The company's ability to navigate these cost pressures while maintaining affordability will be critical for its performance in the coming year.
