Let’s travel back in time for just a little bit today, Missouri! Who remembers the days of the good old five and dimes? We could find anything we wanted – from candy and souvenirs to toys and decorations – at the local 5 & 10 and for pretty good prices, too. Feel like you’ve stepped back in time when you visit this old school variety store in Missouri that offers something for everyone – along with a hearty helping of nostalgia.
Get ready for nostalgia to wash over you when you arrive at Dick's 5 & 10 in Branson, a bustling old school five and dime that's been an area favorite for more than five decades.
And, where's the first place we'd go in a five and dime when we were kids? The candy aisle, of course! Find some of the oldies but goodies, including Necco Wafers, Cherry Mash, and Big Hunt.
Don't see your favorite? Dick's 5 & 10 boasts a selection of more than 1,000 candies and snacks, so you're sure to find something you like.

Of course, we can't pass up a glass bottle of flavored pop (or soda, whichever you prefer). Choose from such unique flavors as sweet corn, bacon, and cucumber.
Handcrafted and fun items to add to your home decor. And, don't forget to view the unique collections - from the Baseball Wall of Fame to G Scale Trains - dotted throughout the store.
