The F. W. Woolworth Company (often referred to as Woolworth’s or Woolworth, or even Woolsworth) was a retail company that was one of the original American five-and-dime stores. The first Woolworth store was founded in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, with a loan of $300, in 1879 by Frank Winfield Woolworth.

The concept of the variety store originated with the five and ten, nickel and dime, five and dime or dimestore, a store where everything cost either five cents (a nickel) or ten cents (a dime). The originator of the concept may be Woolworth’s, which began in 1878 in Watertown, New York. Other five and tens that existed in the USA included J.J. Newberry, J.G. McCrory, S. S. Kresge, McLellan’s, S.H. Kress, TG & Y and Ben Franklin Stores.

My senior year in High School, I was the Stock Boy (yes, that was the ‘official’ job title) at the Woolworth’s in downtown Peoria....

We had a Murphy’s and Niesner’s, both dime stores. Had cheap candy that we would buy, then sneak it into the 25 cent movie next door in Miami.
