Long time favorite spot for Duncanville residents. Even if you go in just to look around I bet you wont be able to resist the diner. They gave lots of sandwich options and a larege selection if Blue Bell ice cream! Homemade baked goods like pies, cookies and brownies good enough to make adult feel like a kid again.

We are very happy with Ben Franklin Apothecary! Their staff are all very professional, friendly and helpful without fail. In fact, with our insurance we actually pay a little more to use this pharmacy but it is more than worth it because of the quality of the experience. They helped us out years ago when other area pharmacies were not able to provide a needed medication and we have been loyal customers ever since.

My mom went to go get my 2 month old medication my mom wanted to know why it wasn’t covered so the lady that I guess runs the pharmacy older black lady tells my mom when she pays for it then she will answer that question that’s bad customer service and also acts like it wasn’t important to fill prescription like lady why are you even working there if your going to be rude and carry on the way you do just retire cause your service is horrible I should have known it was going to be horrible when I dropped prescription to her and rudely tells me she didn’t have time for nothing when I asked how long it will be smh I don’t recommend this pharmacy!!!!!!

I have loved Ben Franklin for DECADES! The owners and employees are always so nice. Its my go-to place for gifts, and my mother ALWAYS uses the pharmacy. MY VERY FAVORITE IS THE KITCHENS DELI, however. Best sandwiches, soups and desserts around.

Need a different more relaxing shopping experience? Need a prescription filled? Need your tummy filled with deliciousness? THIS is the place to go! Great little lunch counter in the back (try the pimento cheese, its the best Ive ever had!). They have tons of items you didnt know you needed. Do you quilt? They have one section full, but well organized, of things for that! This is a hidden little gem in Duncanville and youll be glad you stopped in, if for nothing other than a Real fountain soda and some delicious fudge! Yummm!

Everything I do at Ben Franklin is always a enjoyable experience, from timely and efficiently getting prescriptions, to dining, to finding just the right thing I need. Some of those services have come at extremely stressful times when you need people you can count on. The staff is always helpful.

Phenomenal Staff and Service! I started using this pharmacy when I lived in Duncanville. Immediately, I was impressed with the staff. I moved to Frisco last August and I drive an hour one way so that I can continue to do business with them. There is just no comparison between the national chains and Ben Franklin.

Ben Franklin Pharmacy has the best most courteous and knowledgeable Pharmacy staff weve ever had the pleasure meeting. I can pick up the phone and call them and they will always know my daughters prescriptions history. They are so so helpful.

There is no other business like this wonderful place! I always find unique gifts for my hard to shop for family- things I never would have thought of until I see it on the shelf. Im always greeted, and every single employee seems genuinely happy to be there and eager to help. The quilt shop not only has EVERYTHING Ive needed for crafting, but Ive never left without a memorable conversation, tips, advice, and resources that have made all my projects better. No matter what kind of mood Im in when I arrive, I always leave happy and inspired. This place is special for the unique things you can buy, but the employees make it nothing short of a magical shopping experience. You wont get that at Walmart.

I like the email notices that prescriptions are ready. For me, I only need one notice when all prescriptions are ready. This saves both of a phone call.I love the staff members. Everyone is nice and helpful. Love the deli.

I found the pharmacy helpful in contacting my doctors for refills and in emailing me when the prescriptions were ready. They offer delivery or curbside pickup.

Ben Franklin is a fun place to shop lots of unique items. I love the old timey atmosphere. The employees are always friendly and the store is always clean. I am not impressed with the deli as the food is not consistent. When you order something it should be the same every time you come in but here it is different depending on who makes it

I love this store. They have everything you can think of and lots of stuff youve probably forgotten about. The deli has great food and a great atmosphere (yes, they also deliver). The pharmacy is also very convenient and courteous. Their employees are friendly and if youre looking for hard to find items, they either have it or can probably order it for you. They are a registered State of Texas historical site and have been a family-owned, local-community business for over 50 years.

I went to this place yesterday and I had to return today. I ate at the deli, the food was delicious American style. Very very good service. The store is neat, clean, and it offers a variety of. High quality items. I love the old style feel of it. Its like going back in time. I made the mistake to buy gummies from them. I cannot stop eating them. And I really dont need more sugar😌

First time here and it will be the last time. Visited the pharmacy during this experience. I was told the items would be ready after 5pm. Arrive ten min before 7pm, I was told it still was not ready. The pharmacy appeared unprepared and unorganized. The pharmacy techs just seemed so clueless.

I found this store while visiting from North Carolina. It was WONDERFUL! They have a great selection of gifts and the diner was so nostalgic. The food was very good and so was the service...each of my 3 visits there that week.My mom is disabled and lives nearby. The staff was very nice and the dining area had plenty of room for my mothers wheelchair. I can call the store and have anything delivered to her; not only prescriptions, but also gifts and yummy things from the diner/bakery. You have got to try the cookies!

Many, many years ago I walked to this place from Westmoreland and found a backpack with a bald eagle on it. It was black and hot on my back, but that symbol meant someone was always with me.When I was a kid, Ben Franklin was near the Piggly Wiggly at Kiest & Polk where I lived. We did our chores all week to get allowances and spend it at Ben Franklins 5&10 cent store. Its a long kid story about saving, wishing and hoping come Christmas.....

I used to love coming here. But the prices are starting to get ridiculous and they are always out of everything I want. To top it off they seem to always to get my bread wrong. I order wheatberry bread and they give me wheat.

Growing up in Duncanville, i frequented this plan back in the 80s. I bought Garbage Pail Kids a lot. I took my kids here a couple of years ago and the look is different but it still feels the same. Like an old church lol.

I usually love this place but today I went to eat at the diner and the cashier was so rude to me for no reason she forgot my chips and when I told her she got so angry and came and slammed them on my table then I heard some chirping in the roof like a rodent was in the vent area we told the guy in the front that works there and he said it was the a/c unit well anyways that’s gross I think I rather not eat there again.
