The frame shop is very knowledgeable and polite, and theyve got a great eye for design. We only had a vague idea of what colors we wanted and they helped us narrow it down to a perfect frame.The rest of the staff is very sweet too, and helped me find the ideal display for my stickers for like fifteen minutes. Thanks for taking the time out to help us!

Its a very nice craft shop. The pen/brush pen section is beautiful and makes me wish I had a use for them. Only thing stopping me from 5 stars is there wasnt a lot of cross stitch items/kits. The section was dominated by punch and embroidery. But if I want to go for materials for an original piece I will probably go here.

This store has the nicest, most helpful staff. If u are looking for something and they dont have it, they will help u find it, order it, or recommend a place to get it. Their selection is great and they have lots of different interests represented. Covid has made it hard to get new things in but they have had a good selection this whole time.

I love this store! Yes, it may be a little more expensive than the big box stores, but the quality of their items more than make up for it. In addition, the store is full of inspiration, ideas, and examples to get you creative juices flowing.

I love this craft store! Fantastic quality goods in many different areas of crafting. The staff are all friendly and very helpful. Pricing can be a little higher than at the big chain craft stores, but as I mentioned earlier, youre paying for better quality items.

Love this store. I grew up going to Ben Franklin in Kent. My kids grew up with Ben Franklin.Was sad when it closed. Had no idea Bonney Lake still had a Ben Franklin. Yay!! Great craft ideas and little treasures. They have a fabulous puzzle section. Remember those paint by number sets. They have those too. For all ages.Only wish they carried more vinyl for the Cricut.

Review №16

They carry a little of everything so they probably have what youre looking for. On the other hand, it probably costs 30% more than it would anywhere else.If you want craft supplies but dont want to leave the hill, come here before you drive all the way to Michaels or Joann.If you want to support local, shop here instead of Walmart or Target for most standard craft items.

A variety of fun, creative and beautiful items and crafts. I can usually piece together whatever project I am working on here, as-well-as find a gift for almost anyone Im shopping for. Thank you!

Review №19

Rude customer service the employees were actually very obviously thinking that I was going to steal something and making me very uncomfortable and offensive so I did not buy anything... Its worth the the drive to go to hobby lobby on South Hill theyre much more friendly better prices better selection. I usually prefer Mom and Pop versus the big box but in this case they are way to offensive I wouldnt shop here unless you drive a Mercedes wear a suit in the store and get your credit checked before you shop.

They didnt have the headliner material that I need BUT the customer service was GREAT! I wish the owners/managers would approve having it (in multiple colors) in stock so customers dont have to go down the hill/out of town when we need it.

Review №27

Awful staff/customer service, I felt harassed and never been so disrespected at a store before. The sales associate made assumptions that I came into the store to steal the items there. She had asked me to close my bag because they deal with theft, and kept interrogating me about my intentions as I was shopping, when I was just trying to find materials that match my own samples I brought into the store. I had even offered to show them my samples to clear the suspicions. I clearly expressed that I was uncomfortable, and she continued to question if my own sample was a stolen item from the store. Had to involve the manager, and she excused the harassing behavior from the sales associate. So awful.

Review №34

Over the years store has changed, if you do crafts they provide, then for you. Past you could buy crafts/decorations their talented people made if you werent crafty.. Not now, they must want only craft sales. Used to be my favorite store. They had great decorations for all holidays, tons of ribbons, now its like every big box store. Very sad.

Review №38

I went in looking for supplies to do a sneaker restoration and the staff were amazing! Its nearby and conventional so I decided to longboard there, they were kind enough to hold my board and my brothers up front! The kind lady up front directed me to a specialist diana which helped me find everything I need and was very thorough! Though I might add there was a part of the shopping experience which I hated, there was this older man (which i assume was their secret shopper for theft protection) who would not leave me alone! He would constantly follow me and give ugly looks which made me feel really uncomfortable and even discriminated. Besides that though it was awesome they have a broad selection for all your needs. However if i have another experience with that horrid guy I am going to cause a scene because thats just ridiculous, cant even shop comfortably with being made feel a criminal for doing nothing wrong!!

In and out quick visit for my Halloween Cow costume. Needed brown felt for my ear tag. Black felt for the back of my ears. Pink for the inside of the ears.MOO ny thanks.Also I bought the old retro chewing gum. Beemans, Blackjack they were so disappointing. The Clove was better, but none were the same wonderful flavored recipe from my childhood :(

I love Ben Franklin. I love the environment, especially around fall/winter, however I cant stand rude customer service. If it wasnt for the craft part and the environment I would give this store zero stars. The employees are super rude and their items are WAY over priced. Youre better off ordering off Amazon or going to walmart.

Review №57

My pocketbook HATES me now, but the rest of me loves this location so much!! I can never manage to make it through the entire place before theyre set to close for the evening, despite my having a good hour, to an hour and a half of browsing time at my disposal. Theres just so many crafts to visualize starting next as youre walking through each aisle! But what actually compelled me to write this review for them, was their VERY FRIENDLY STAFF! I hadnt even realized it was already closing time, and was still perusing their things - and yet not a single one came up to hurry me along or remind me of their hours. I doubt they wouldve let me stay there indefinitely of anything, but their patience and willingness to let me eyeball a few more things on the racks before realizing I was holding them up was SUCH a refreshing change from the frenzied and nagging reminders every 2 minutes, that Ive seen more and more often lately at stores with employees who think the final 30 minutes of being open includes no other job duties except to repeatedly walk past and remind their shoppers of the time.It may not seem like a huge deal to others, but to me, especially on the day I shopped there, this meant a lot. 😁

Review №58

Had forgotten all about Bens! Ive had 15-20 lbs of wax thats been on toDo list for turning into candles since horses were our only mode of transportation. I can make the molds all I needed was the wick and I knew they had it. I broke down and forced my self to spend $2-3 for Candle wick so I wouldnt (couldnt) procrastinate any longer. I couldnt believe how I had forgotten all the neat stuff they have in there. Im not a crafts type of guy, youd never catch me at the fair, let alone see me gabbing with other crafters. I could easily spend way too much time in there looking at everything just catching up on what I had missed. Its almost a museum in a since bringing back childhood memories. Now I cant go in because, I dont waste any time extra, look at everything I have no plans on buying, Not sentimental type of guy either. I am going back however, and I know I Will spend some money too. Im going back to waste a lot of time looking at everything, And Im going to buy something(s) too. It wont even be because I need it, or even because I want it, no, Im going back to spend money on something(s) just because its neat.

I love going into this place! Everyone there is so helpful, and friendly. I have never once in the five years I have been in this area, had a bad experience, or met a rude employee. That says a lot to me. Im in the customer service industry also, and I know everybody can have a bad day. But those girls never seem to have a bad day. I have come up with some amazing creative ideas, just browsing through the aisles of your incredible store.

Ben Franklin always seems to have whatever we need for crafting and school projects. They have a lovely section for quilting and also, they have Ellison letters makers to use for my teaching (bulletin board) needs. Everyone is very friendly and helpful there. It is a little bit pricey, but it is a small chain and is to be expected considering the wide selection they have.

Review №93

Was such a nice store. Pretty overpriced but for convenience they ARE then only real art store on the Hill so thats kinda what youre paying for, I guess. I was distraught to find their best department was completely depleted from having its own little section of the store down to a mere 2 or so shelf sections. That large bead selection was all I had gone in for!! I hope they manage to stay in business a long time more but the cashier, who was both old in age and yet seemed new to the job, seemed as tired and unenthusiastic as someone without that certain outlook... Good Luck.

I feel like Ive become part of the family here. I get very invested in the staff and the close feel of everyone there. While the prices are a bit higher, youre paying for the experience of the staff, the quality product and the amazing service. I do wish they would expand the jewelry department more again...but I still love the variety of the rest of the store.
