Let’s go for a little stroll down Memory Lane today, PA! Back to the days when five and dimes sat on every Main Street in America, in bustling malls, and at strip malls. Remember those good ol’ days? Well, you’ll feel just like you’ve returned to that simpler time when you walk through the front door of this charming five and dime in Pennsylvania that sells a little bit of everything.
Stroll through the enchanting town of Jim Thorpe until you arrive at Mauch Chunk 5 & 10, a charming old-school five and dime.
You'll feel as though you've traveled straight back to your childhood when you walk through the door. When's the last time you played with a Magic Spring or a Slinky?
Treat yourself to a hearty helping of nostalgia at Mauch Chunk 5 & 10, open Sunday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
