Retail Rewind

Favorite Retail Store as a Child
For many years, probably up to the age of about 10, David eagerly looked forward to an allowance of twenty-five cents. Upon receipt of this money, he would hop on his bike and ride to Ben Franklin's 5 and 10 cent store where he spent a nickel on a candy bar, another nickel on a pack of baseball cards and 15 cents on what was called "penny candy," usually licorice sticks. To this day, licorice is still his favorite candy. True story!
