Ah, the memories of shopping at Ben Franklin as a child when a nickel bought a lot of candy. I loved going there when I went to visit my American family. I'd forgotten, and now will spend some more nostalgic moments looking at old store pictures on the internet. Thanks.

Cincinnati, Ohio lost theirs over 30 years ago. I hadn't seen one since until I went to Bethel, Ohio about 10 miles from where I live now. It's a small Ben Franklin but...better small than none.
