Five And Dime Tapestries

I was workin' part time at a five and dime, my boss was Mr. McGee....He told me several times that he didn't like my kind, 'cuz I was a bit too leisurely. Seems that I was busy doin' somethin' close to nothin, not different than the day before!

Drucker's General Store

Founded in 1962 by the F. W. Woolworth Company, Woolco was an American retail chain. Unlike Woolworth's five-and-dime stores, Woolco was a full-line discount department store, and the creation of the new format coincided with the expansion of suburbia. At its peak, Woolco had hundreds of stores in the US, as well as in Canada and the UK. Woolworth's flagship stores were still doing well, but the company wanted to tap into the growing discount department store market without diluting its dominant position in the variety store business. The first Woolco was located in Columbus, Ohio, and by 1966, there were 18 in the US, and nine in Canada with plans for 30 stores to be added per year.

Founded in 1927, Ben Franklin was a chain of five and dime stores found primarily in small towns throughout the United States. The stores were franchise based, with individual stores owned by independent proprietors, and are believed to be the first retail franchise. They are named after Benjamin Franklin, taking a cue in their merchandise offerings from Franklin's saying, "a penny saved is a penny earned."
