Brief History
Frank W. Woolworth opened his first 5 and 10 cents store in 1879. His first attempt was to sell aging inventory for 5-cent items in a store in Utica, NY. This endeavor failed. However, he tried a second time, increasing his inventory to include 5-cent and 10-cent items. This time, his attempt to open and operate a 5 and 10 store was successful. By 1912, there were 631 stores bringing in more than $60.5 million a year. [1]
