    This place was very nice! It had some tourist merchandise, but not much. Cute small town shop

    Mostly carries tourist stuff and gift/decor items. Plus size shoppers beware - almost nothing above an XL. Staff seemed surprised when I inquired about larger sizes, as though they've never looked around. Quite odd. Miss the days they sold craft and sewing supplies.

    It was very nice! They had plenty of souvenirs and memorabilia around. It was a fun way to commemorate my trip up to the UP! A very fun experience with that I would definitely do again!

    I always stop here when visiting family in Ironwood for some great up north jewelry and home decor.

    I remember this store from over 30 years ago, as a "dime store." Its a lot different now, offering a lot of fun merchandise, especially for us tourists. Beautiful store, you have to check them out. Reasonable prices, friendly employees.

    I remember going to Ben Franklin Store in Cambridge Springs Pa with my dad when I was in my teens. I now live in WI and haven't found these stores for many years. While on vacation recently I seen a sign for one and told my husband, "WE HAVE TO GO THERE". So glad we did. Found a lot of great souvenirs. And I thought I was going to cry being in the store as it brought back great memories of my dad. THANK YOU BEN FRANKLIN FOR HELPING ME RELIVE THOSE PRECIOUS MEMORIES 💯❤️

    Driving though. Great staff, prices were moderate. We enjoyed stretching our legs, I think we spent over one hour in this store.

    I don't know why this is called Ben Franklin. It's nothing like a Ben Franklin store. It's just a souvenir shop.

  • 5/5 Kimberly R. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute souvenir shop. They have anything you are looking for when wanting to take back something from the U.P.

  • 4/5 Robert C. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice store with lots of gifts and souvenirs. Very nice lady at counter

  • 4/5 Greg A (. 11 months ago on Google
    The store mostly consists of home decor trinkets and the like. They do have a few craft items and supplies, a good selection of touristy t-shirts and sweatshirts, and some art on display. There aren't any hardware, pharmacy, or convenience items though, which is what we happened to be looking for when we stopped in. All in all it is a nice store, just not a Ben Franklin we are used to.

  • 5/5 Jerrod B. 1 year ago on Google
    It was just as I remembered Ben Franklin to be. So many different items to look through, from mugs to jewelry. Plenty of souvenirs for everyone.

  • 4/5 Dean H. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice selection of craft items, good variety of household devote, favoring the rustic cabin,or camp. Pricing is fair. Quality of products is very good. Don't skip this place on your next visit.

    If you are looking for something up north ish....this place will have it. From puzzles that look like animals, to hats to t shirts and more. You can find it here.

    Benjamin Franklins is a neat store but everything was quite expensive. If I had a ton of money would have brought a ton of stuff. They have lots of cabin decor and moose and bear stuff. Lots of clothes and art supplies. I like it but can't afford to buy from them right now.

  • 5/5 Michael 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and helpful people. Souvenirs. A variety of clothing and art. Items for home, cottage and cabin.

  • 5/5 Kristine H. 1 year ago on Google
    All kinds of fun stuff to look at. Great place to buy MI themed trinkets, shirts, and gifts. Massive puzzle selection!

    Ben Franklin is another must stop when we're in town. The kids enjoy going there as well. I appreciate them selling shirts that support rescuing dogs and got a red, white, and blue one I can't wait to wear on the 4th.
