Dick’s 5 & 10
Branson, MO
A 10,000-square-foot Branson five-and-dime packed with what the store says are more than 250,000 different items beneath running model trains and museum-like private collections.
Dick’s mixes the chaotic breadth of an old five-and-dime with candy, soda, books, toys, housewares, crafts and a private museum’s worth of collections displayed throughout the working store.
Field notes
Why it belongs
Five-and-dime, candy and soda shop, bookstore section, toy and game store, craft and sewing supplies, housewares, collectibles, souvenirs, model trains and private-history displays.
A substantial working five-and-dime shares its room with overhead trains, a jukebox and collections that make ordinary browsing feel like a private museum visit.
Dick’s 5 & 10 has operated in Branson since 1961 and now fills roughly 10,000 square feet downtown. Current first-party material describes more than 250,000 different retail items spread across candy, unusual soda, books, toys, games, home goods, crafts, sewing supplies, sports merchandise, pop culture and novelty goods. Around those shelves are collections assembled to make the store an experience: signed World War II aviation prints, baseball memorabilia, White River arrowheads, antique washing machines, old kitchen utensils and G-scale trains that run overhead. Those historical and collection displays are there to be seen rather than treated as ordinary store inventory.
