I haven't seen one in years. Sad to see it closing though.

Kingsport, TN has a great Ben Franklins. I could (and have) spent hours in there.

I loved the Ben Franklin store that was in my area. It closed over 15 years ago. Ididn't know there were any stores remaining open since I was told our store was closing because the corporation filed for bankruptcy.

Iowa City still has a Ben Franklin store. Haven't heard anything about them closing yet but haven't been there since before christmas either. Hope it isn't going to either. :)

Their online store has deals sometimes. Our store closed too about 2 years ago...

Explosive blessings, abundance and inspiration to you all!

We still have a Ben Franklin. It moved from it's old location to an empty Circuit City bldg. not long ago. Now that it is closer, I find myself going more often. They have a decent selection and the prices are fairly good and most weeks, the fabrics are 25% off.
