We had a Ben Franklin years ago in the small Wisconsin town of Spooner where our cabin is.
What I hadn't even realized is that it hadn't been called Ben Franklin in years. What the owner told me was what I guess would be the franchise fees and how expensive they were. They decided to keep the store open but drop the Ben Franklin part of the name. Those little stores have great deals on small notions like stuffed animal eyes and magnetic snaps. Love 'em!
