National 5 & 10 is a locally owned and operated family business in downtown Newark, DE, specializing in Delaware and University of Delaware clothing and souvenirs. The story goes that after arriving in Philadelphia, Louis set out to find a place to raise his family and took the train one stop further south from Philly each week until he discovered Newark. Knowing a good thing when he saw it, Louis

decided that Newark was the place to be. Around 1911, he settled his family on Main Street and started a small business called Louis Handloff Outfitters. Louis would go to Philadelphia to get sewing supplies for his wife, Molly, who would make aprons and sell them from the front room of their house on Main Street. Over time, the neighbors started requesting that he bring back supplies for them too and the business took off. National 5 & 10 has been serving the Newark community ever since and has been in our current location for over 85 years. We have been family-owned and operated for four generations.
