Five-and-ten-cent store
Five and dime was a common nickname in the United States for five-and-ten-cent stores (also called 5 and 10s), popular in the early to mid-20th century. These stores originally featured merchandise priced at only five cents or ten cents, although later in the century, the dollar store occupies a similar marketing niche.
Examples of well-known five and dimes include Woolworth's, Kress Stores, Kresge's, and Alco-Duckwall Retail Stores.
The play Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean refers to such a store.
