Ben Franklin Stores
 

I saw in another post that there are still some Ben Franklin stores in operation. I have been trying for a few days now to find a list of ones in Indiana, Ohio, or Kentucky that are open.

If you know of any, I would appreciate knowing about them. I really enjoyed shopping at them when I could find one.

Thanks so much,
Phyllis

I enjoyed shopping at both the local store (which closed) and their online store (until it closed too). Maybe this website will help? I have no idea how recent this listing is, though.

I just went to http://www.YellowPages.com and typed in Ben Franklin Store with the location of "Ohio". Nine stores were listed. Hope this helps.

There is one in Fayetteville, WV. This is the
south western part of West Virginia.

There is one in Mt Carmel, Illinois

Louisville, Ky, on Shelbyville Road . I tried to find an address for it, but it did not show up. It is still open and it is in Middletown. It is located in the Village Square Shopping Center 40223. Phone: 502-245-9259.

We lost ALL of the stores located in So CA. Use find RJR in the flatfold section.

There is one in Bowling Green, Ohio

Saw one for Kokomo. That would be closer to Liberty?

Was looking at the Indiana map and you could get on 69 go north to Kokomo exit.

If you get on this site, you want to type in cities/town. Hit the "k" for the heck of it and Kokomo is nearby.Ky may be another close locale.

We have one here in Bonney Lake, WA (Seahawks Territory!)

We have one in Belleville Illinois

I miss that store.. shopping was a pleasure. miss all them little store . mccory's . ben franklin. creskies? moore's..

Used to be one in Broadway, VA, but since my DD moved from VA to MS, I don't get over there any more, and so don't know if it is still open. We always found some fabric there we couldn't do without.

Yes, the one in Bowling Green, Ohio is awesome. It has a little bit of everything. Bowling Green is about 20 miles south of Toledo.

I used to go to Ben Franklin with my sister, I can't remember the town, Siren, Webster - I can't remember, but it was the neatest store and they had fabric like you wouldn't believe. I always stopped there with her and buy a whole slew of fabric. Loved that store. Now, I can't remember if they closed the store or if they discontinued the fabric end. Edie

I loved going to the Ben Franklin stores, along with F.W. Woolworth's and TG&Y.

Maybe this could help

There is one in Utica, Ohio, although they have put a Family Dollar store there now. I hope they stay in business as their fabric and supplies are great.

New Albany, In and I believe the one in Evansville, In is still open

I shop at BF in Knoxville, TN all the time...love BF..

Hello, I know that there is one in Coldwater, Ohio. It is located in a small strip mall.

Redmond, Washington too!

Shelbyville road in middletown has one that is open..i get fabric there at times..im in kentucky

Evansville is closed
 

Thanks to everyone for your input. It has been helpful. I will be on the lookout when we travel.

There was a store in Evansville that closed, but there appears to be another one in a different area of Evansville. I need to check it out, as that is where our family lives.

One problem with the internet is that a lot of closed stores are still being listed as open. I will just have to call each one in places we are visiting to see if they are open. I am really excited about finding them again!

Thanks again,
Phyllis

Greenfield Ohio and Carolton Ohio are two that I know of . The one in greenfield is combined in a grocery store but they have lots of fabric and such I visit there often . The one in Carolton Ohio is your old fashioned store , like stepping back in time , old wood floors that creek when you walk, bulk candy counters and all . So many things you would never find in regular chain stores .I went there as a child with my grandma it was always a huge treat to go , when she passed two years ago I went to " town" for old times sake because knew I would never travel up there again . I spent several hours in the old Ben Franklin store that was exactly as I remembered it was 40 years ago .

"Ben Franklins" (that I know) are in Amherst, Ohio (NO fabric); and in Oberlin, Ohio - VERY nice fabric department of flatfolds...no frills and much more economical than JoAnns or LQS. A new gal took over that dept. and last I was there a couple months ago, I was very impressed.

We have one in Monroe WA. They have beautiful fabric and craft and art supplies. Go Seahawks.

Try Kingsport, Tn/

ours all closed in my area of va was a neat store and some great fabrics!

We have one in Raymond, NH that I stop in once in a while. Lots of fabric, lots of hardware (for DH to look at). Neat store. Miss the one that used to be in Milford, NH.

Another store on this idea is Marden's. They are only in Maine, some, not all carry fabric and prices are wonderful.

I was in the Ben Franklin in Carrollton, Ohio just a few weeks ago. Love the creaky wooden floors. They have a little bit of everything. They have a generous craft/sewing section. I could spend hours there just looking.

That is a great Ben Franklin but i did not see a fabric department. Is there one?

Wilmington, IL. Has a nice BF with fabric. It is south of Joliet.

The one in monroe city in MO is nice too.

Just think about long ago with a 5&10 stores. I remember woolworths.

ben franklin in jasper indiana ....on the north end of town 231 and i think they have 20% off quilting stuff last day today .... ..see ya there

There is one in Winterset Iowa, right down the street from Fon's and Porter.

Great road trip with my Mom to hit both places.

I live within 20 miles of two of them in northwest iowa! They do have a nice variety of bolted and flat fold and lots and lots of fleece and basic minkee.

When I lived near Cleveland Ohio I use to shop at Ben Franklin all the time. I love those stores...
