Los Altos Village to get LB's first fiVe BEL°W store

 Long Beach’s first fiVe BEL°W store coming to Los Altos Village

Long Beach’s first Five Below store is coming to Los Altos Village.  The new store will occupy the former Rite Aide space in the Los Altos North Shopping Center.

Five Below specializes in items under five dollars that are aimed at young teens.  Items include candy and beverages, school supplies, electronic accessories as well as sports and game-related items.  Items above the five-dollar price point are called Five Beyond but are still offered at very affordable price points.

First opening in 2002 in Philadelphia, the store has expanded to nearly 2,000 locations across 40 states.   The two closest stores to Long Beach are in Compton and Downey.  This year the fast-growing retailer announced a goal of 400 new stores with the goal of 3,500 retail stores by 2030.

The current Long Beach location is being remodeled but is accepting job applications online.    The Los Altos Village store is expected to open this Summer. 

 

Supernaw is hosting a Los Altos reception for mayoral campaign

Councilman Supernaw is hosting a  Los Altos  reception to introduce residents to Suzie Price's mayoral campaign

Fourth District Councilman Daryl Supernaw will host a campaign meet-and-greet style reception for Councilwoman Suzie Price’s campaign for Long Beach Mayor from 6pm-7:30 pm on Tuesday, April 26^th  at Ecco’s Pizza in Los Altos.

The event gives East Long Beach residents the chance to see what all the local buzz around Price as the next mayor is all about. 

Supernaw is the Long Beach City Council’s only non-partisan member and he rarely makes any type of political endorsement. Even rarer for Supernaw is actually holding a reception for a candidate, which appears to be evidence of his depth of support for Price becoming Long Beach’s next mayor.

 
When you get to know Suzie Price and what she stands for, it is easy to see why Supernaw is so strongly supporting her.

Price’s broad-based support across the city is tied to her common-sense approach to some of Long Beach’s most pressing problems: the homeless; crime and public safety; infrastructure needs like street repair and support for common-sense solutions to increase housing. 

Price’s campaign slogan “Service over Politics”  clearly relates to Long Beach’s current local government climate.  Price articulates that a Mayor Price will focus on making Long Beach’s local government “competent and functional”.   That vision is in stark contrast to her main opponent Councilman Rex Richardson who is focused on partisanship, ideology, and promises based on current political rhetoric and verbiage.

The difference between Price being able to lead and Richardson not being ready for the mayor’s office is crystal clear in the San Pedro Democratic Club debate between the two in the short video below.  Watching the debate clearly shows that Price is ready to lead Long Beach as Mayor Price.
