"Dime store" = cửa hàng (đồng giá) một hào -> cửa hàng bán những phụ kiện nhỏ, rẻ. Nghĩa khác chỉ địa điểm có quy mô nhỏ và hỗn độn. Cụm từ đồng nghĩa khác là "five and dime store", "five-cent store", "ten-cent store"... phổ biến ở Mỹ từ giữa thế kỷ 20.

Ví dụ
Penney was joined in the new building by five-and-dime store F.W. Woolworth Co., with both opening their doors in 1955.

The first dime store was so successful that Sam Walton opened a new store, the first Walmart, in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas.

Located at the intersection (giao lộ) of Hixson Pike and Ashland Terrace, Highland Plaza originally had echoes of a downtown shopping district with two five-and-dime stores, two department stores, an auto and housewares (đồ da dụng) store and more.

Joe grew up in Forest and Russiaville, IN. He enjoyed sharing many fond childhood stories which included his sisters Jane and Janice and childhood friends. They included visiting the local dime store to admire the cookie jar, playing practical jokes on his sisters, or visiting the basketball court with friends Harold Orr and Rex Hughes as a teen.
