We used to have a Ben Franklin in our area ,unfortunately it was blown away during one of our awful tornado's, they never built back. I really liked that store.

We have a Ben Franklin's, and I just started working in the fabric section on Fridays (my day off from my other job). It is a locally owned store, and the owners have another Ben Franklin's in a near by community. Ben's has everything, including an extensive fabric section that would rival some quilt shops - and such a fun place to workHubs figured I'd spend everything I earn on fabric...true, true.

I miss our Ben Franklin. They went out of business here so long ago. I want to say more than 10 years and they had been here forever...I mean it was THE place to go to for crafts before Michaels or Joann's existed.
When I was growing up (1950s), we had a Ben Franklin in Elkin, NC. It WAS the 'dime' store. My sister and I rediscovered Ben Franklin at Myrtle Beach, SC, and Greensboro, NC, a few years ago. Unfortunately, the MB store closed but the GSO one relocated to an area closer to my home. Alas, the BF near me is now a Planet Fitness!!! There are other BFs in the area, though. I actually bought the fabric for the Jacob's Ladder group at the BF in Kannapolis, NC.
What about Teaberry gum?????

I think there's one still in the Ricmond area (Virginia). At least it was there when I was back in Richmond in December. I do love that craft store.

The first time we went to the US (Christmas 1992) we were taken to a Ben Franklin Store, I was awestruck, I had never seen a store like it. We had to visit several times before we flew back. I was so sad the last time we went the shop had closed........

We have a Ben Franklin about 10 miles from my house. It's been in the same little store for 85 years I think! I went there with my mom when I was a child. I had completely forgotten they had fabric until I went back in with my step-mom a few weeks ago. I have to get back there and really check it out!
We have a Ben Franklin here in this podunk town. It has a nice fabric selection although not entire lines or any pre-cuts. The store almost closed but finally some new owners stepped up. I'm not a fan of some of the changes they made but I'm glad the store is still there. It is now the only store in town to buy quality fabrics from. I believe there is another store about an hour from here but across the state line and where I used to live (6 hours from here) they have a WONDERFUL Ben Franklin store.
