Didn't know there was a Ben Franklin in Monroe. So seeing it was awesome to get out and stretch and buy some things and enjoyed talking to the workers after 3 hours of driving. Very polite and full of sewing knowledge and showing us things.

This is the best store ever! The variety of items and the selection were far better than you'll find in larger stores.

I found the cutest throw in here for my sister. Very high in price but I knew she would love it. If your looking for crafting stuff....this is the place for you. So much material in a little store!! But they have a lot of yard chachkes to choose from. WOW! I'll be back!! Very friendly and helpful staff.

Really did not have anything I was interested seemed more of a place older people would go for yard projects and weird little things to put around the house. Similar to hobby lobby but not as big or nice.

Great friendly staff. Even sweet with my question filled kiddo! 😂 This store is like a treasure hunt! I think they have anything and everything crafty or decor related! I was specifically there for the fabrics and they have a lot! Embroidery, notions and more!

This store provides the nostalgia of yesteryear general store products. This includes great utensils, tools and fabrics. We found ourselves entranced with the unique and useful items not commonly found in a brick and mortar store. Highly recommend this store.👍

Very friendly staff, lots of inventory of craft ideas, so many artificial flowers 💐 Very unique gift ideas, I found a rosary 📿 almost exactly like I had 45 years ago. Unfortunately my pearls after so many years desinagreded, I was extremely excited when I seen them and bought them 🙃 also lots of fantastic fabrics for what ever you want to make. I didn't have to much time, but I was impressed with the store, restroom clean 👏👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ once again staff was outstanding 👏 👌 👍

We had a blast going here, and we went to the Ben Franklin in Monroe City MO, the one in Macon is the better of the two locations

BEST EVER Ben Franklin's I've ever been in!!! Set-ups are so very pleasant to the mind's eye. Employees SO helpful with anyone wanting something...💞. I honestly don't want to leave! Also, fair pricing for everything I was looking for! Thank you Monroe City! A great experience!

This store is always so packed with a wide arrange of merchandise. It's great. The customer service is always as nice as it can be. I left on one star only because 75% of the items in the store is market triple price than it needs to be. But it is all great quality and Nice atmosphere.

We go here whenever we come to town, it truly is a blast from the past, they have a wide variety of items you'd expect to see at a Ben Franklin.

We always stop at this store when we go thru Monroe City (at least 3 times a year). It is about 180 miles from home. Have a very wide selection of nice gifts & crafts.

This store is fantastic! It's a GREAT place to stop ...but give yourself lots of time because there's lots to look at. Some items are a little pricey. But on the whole...better than Hobby Lobby!

Drove 30 miles for an item that was advertised in their sale for November 5, 2022. The ad showed the picture of the item we came for, but cashier said that was for the flyer the week before. Somewhat false advertising to me, especially when it had picture of the item and the date of November 5, 2022.

There's only one problem with the Ben Franklin craft store in Monroe City Missouri.....I never have enough money!!!!because if you like crafting you will want one of everything! ❣️ You won't find most of their stuff anywhere else and if you do it was by acciden.t.
