Ben Franklin Crafts

The people who work here are very rude. I went here a few months back when I was very pregnant. Since I was very pregnant, my wedding ring did not fit so I had to wear it on a chain around my neck. I came with my older son to get some pins to finish a sewing project. When I went to check out I said in a friendly manner «Hi, how are you today?». The cashier had short dark hair, orange skin, and was about in her 50’s or 60’s (she had a lot of wrinkles). She looked me up and down with a sneer and looked at my naked finger then rolled her eyes. After the transaction was done, I told her to have a nice day. She grunted something under her breath so I told her again and she waved me out the door and said in a nasty tone «yeah, yeah». I will never be back again. Where is all of this «Southern Hospitality» everyone keeps bragging about?

This place was super cute! It had lots of seasonal things on display, so if you like to have little pumkins or turkey’s everywhere this is your place. They also have some great wax scents to choose from if you use a warmer. The staff was very friendly and the entire place just gives you a warm cozy feeling. The only downside is that there aren’t any baking supplies, which I had hoped to find. Regardless this place is adorable and worth checking out.

Depending on what craft you are interested in this may or may not be the store for you. If it’s a craft area they carry, then there is probably an o.k. to good selection of materials.
So why only a three star review? This store is very limited compared to some other craft store chains on the variety of crafts. I went in to locate silicone molds or clam shell packaging for soap making. The first mistake I made was stopping at the service desk to ask what direction to go in the store. The unknowledgeable employee first went down her list and said «clams, no we don’t have anything listed under that.» Molds? «We have molding material on aisle _​.» Soap making materials? «No.» Cake decorating supplies? «No» Candy making supplies? «No.»
I wandered the store and found it to be 50 percent Christmas decorations, trees, garlands, etc. I also found I was out of luck on anything I needed.
Will I be back? Probably not. There are other craft store options and to be quite honest even Wal Mart carries a better selection.
