Frank Woolworth opened his first store, in Utica, New York State, in
1879 with the gimmick that everything was priced at five cents. It
failed because it was too far out of the town centre, but a second shop
in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, became a roaring success. He soon varied the
formula, selling some goods at 10 cents, and the famous 'five-and-dime'
store was born.

He borrowed $300 and opened a five-cent store in Utica, New York, on
February 22, 1878. It failed within weeks. Woolworth opened his second
store in April 1879, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he expanded the
concept to include merchandise priced at ten cents.

In 1911, the F.W. Woolworth Company was incorporated with 586 stores. In
1913, Woolworth built the Woolworth Building in New York City at a cost
of $13.5 million in cash. At the time, it was the tallest building in
the world, measuring 792 feet, or 241.4 meters.[13]

Woolworth often made unannounced visits to his stores, where he would
shoplift items to test the staff's attentiveness. Managers or clerks who
caught him doing so were sometimes rewarded with promotions.[14]
