Mooney’s Ben Franklin Store

If you’re in Tawas, Michigan, check this store out! I didn’t realize Ben Franklin stores still existed. This store is fun to browse around in — they have a little bit of everything!

We were visiting Michigan during the week of 6/29~7/6/2015 and we saw some amazing vintage metal prints of Superheros. Being that we had to fly home we could not get all of them that we wanted at that time and settled for one. I called the store and a lovely young lady named Emily was kind enough to help me in procuring the reaming signs to be sent to me! I cant say how pleased I am with Ben Franklin’s and their staff’s willingness to be helpful and accommodating! I recommend them to anyone visiting Tawas Michigan! Their store & staff is awesome!

I love this store. It’s a must do every time we come up. They are always getting new things in and I could spend hours looking and never seeing it all. I never walk out empty handed. If you can’t find It, just ask. They probably have it somewhere in the store. Employees are always friendly and helpful. They have souvenirs, games, beach stuff, camping goodies, puzzles, tons of indoor and outdoor activities, clothes, hardwares, crafts, knitting, quilting, home cottage cabin camper décor, garden décor, cards, sunglasses, you will get lost in here. Just enjoy. Guaranteed to find something that is YOU! Put it on your agenda.

Another store I looked forward to coming back to, partly just for the fun variety, which was even bigger than I remembered, partly because I remembered they had the yarns. I wasn’t into knitting last trip, but am a prolific knitter now. I had great fun looking and bought a few skeins to knit as I travel.
They had just gotten in some fur-​lined clogs and the strap on my lavender ones had just broken the day before, so it was providential to find them here. I bought a pair of the purple ones in my size for $ 12.99 and wore them every day the rest of my trip.
They have lots if souvineer-​y type stuff as well, something for everyone, so I do highly recommend stopping in here when you’re in town.
Oh, and there is also a pressed penny machine in the back if you or your kids collect those.
