A dispenser for displaying and dispensing items of merchandise such as packages of cigarettes includes a foldable inner molding which, when in the folded position, holds a replaceable display sleeve. The inner molding has a center panel with a center divider for dividing the dispenser into left and right sides, and left and right panels are attached to the center panel along left and right fold lines. Each of the left and right panels has a side divider for dividing the respective side of the dispenser into forward and rearward compartments, each of which holds a column of the cigarette packages. Integral with each of the left and right panels are forward and rearward column supports for holding the forward and rearward columns of packages, respectively. The inner molding may be constructed of a sturdy and washable material such as injection molded plastic. Around it fits a display sleeve which helps to hold the inner molding in the folded position, but which may be constructed of a much less expensive material such as paperboard. A display is provided on the sleeve, and the sleeve may be readily removed and replaced to provide a different display.
