I saw a lot of crafting supplies, school supplies, books, toys, CDs. The store was very clean and interesting to explore. This store is good for anyone working on school projects, homeschoolers, teachers, kid's presents, and many Christian related items.

There are some things that you just know that Ken's Joy's will have. Anything from Christmas gifts, to books, to games, to crafts, etc. Enjoy their helpful staff and reasonable prices. I often find their prices on books cheaper than Amazon or other competitors..

This a great place to visit. It has so many cool things, it's a Christian oriented store that has school and office type supplies, toys, books, stickers, posters, and so much more. If you're a Christian... this is a must check out place. If you're not a Christian, you will still find plenty of stuff to delight yourself with... If I could I'd give more than 5 stars!!!

I love this little store. Very nice owner and staff..always helpful if you are looking for something specific. Great selection of board games you wont find at a big box store! Books and activities for children, stationary supplies, teacher supplies, coloring and art kits, greeting cards with scripture, little toys...this place has it all. 5 year old me is screaming with glee inside each time I visit and I do not even have children! I love the sticker selection and the crayola section as well.

Ken's Education Joys is my go-to place for classroom supplies. A variety of classroom wall decor, maps, curriculum, small prizes, and back to school supplies! Much Christian literature & recorded music. The new management has made items easier to locate and it's the same great service! The laminating paper is not very thick, but does a good job preserving items like posters that don't get heavy-duty wear.

What a store. Books, music, gifts, school supplies and all wholesome and decent. A safe place for a family visit and browsing.

Awesome shopping experience! Cheery atmosphere and very well organized displays. I like the large selection of music cds. Also I really enjoy the audio books read by Kenny Sauder himself. The staff are friendly and helpful. This unique school supply store is a must see!

This place gets high marks for the variety of items it carries - a great place to shop for Christian or secular educational or fun materials for children. The prices are certainly not discount, but they're bearable. I often shop here for supplementary Sunday School items. My biggest complaint is that the staff make me feel like they're suspicious of me every time I walk in the door. I've never had a hello or a smile - even when I initiate it. It's not welcoming at all. I'm not Mennonite and I've often wondered if my reception at the store would be better if I were, and that would be very sad, if true. I get a friendlier welcome from the young Mennonite women at the roadside stand down the road. At Ken's I almost feel like they look at me as an intruder. If it weren't for this situation, I'd give it four, if not five, stars.

If youre a teacher and need supplies i highly recommend this store. Very good prices and very unique items as well. Also its a Christian store for the church going folk. Great puzzle selection as well as unique games.

This place has everything you need for craft and school supplies. The store isn't huge but it is packed full of supplies. Lots if materials for homeschool and lots of Christian material. I don't recommend bringing small children. The carts don't have seats for kids and the store is full of things that little hands like to grab.

They have a lot of very neat stuff. It's so nice when you want to touch something instead of just buying it online. many different styles and sizes of Bibles. Great resource for homeschoolers, Sunday school teachers, and educators of all kind.

The only thing this place does not sell is time... I could spend all day in there! Ken's Joy's is unique. Their ability to anticipate customer's needs and to meet that need is second to none. To bad I live in Montana 🙃

A teacher's dream come true...huge selection of practical classroom necessities, plus everything one can imagine to make learning fun and to keep your classroom creative and colorful. Not sure who buys cds anymore but they have a huge selection of good Christian music.

Wide selection of quality, Christian, educational products - from stickers, toys, and CD's, to books, curriculum, and lots more!I really like their wide selection of MELISSA & DOUG toys!One notation I have been unable to add to the store information,"Except for true emergencies, CELLPHONES ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE STORE!" But, that's a good thing.

I love going here when I'm in the area. Selection is huge on school related items, books, (my special weakness), audio books, games, puzzles and more. It is very full, so shopping with a small child can be a bit challenging, but that doesn't keep me out! Some things may be cheaper else where (if they can be found elsewhere!)

Just visited today and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Everything was neat, tidy, and the layout of the store made sense, so things were easy to find. I’m so grateful for this wonderful resource to be so close by. I could spend hours here.

Love shopping at this store! It is under new ownership, and I enjoyed the less cluttered feel of the store, with more open aisle space, than what it used to be. But loved Ken and all he did, too!

Great variety in items they sell. Wish there was a store like it close by, with better customer service. No returns on items bought in October sale, even though the receipt says '14 day return policy'.

Ken has an amazing store, he has spent years in honing its culture into what it is today. If you are looking for christian inspirations/etc and books or music look no further...you will find it here or a superior equivalent! Go Ken!

A great store for the home-schooling family, the Christian looking for edifying materials, and the artist or crafter looking for supplies and inspiration. A wide selection of goods; more than I can mention.

I've loved coming here ever since I was a child. Books, CDs, games, toys etc. make me want to browse for hours. Definitely one of my absolute favourite stops on a PA trip!

I'm convinced this place only does well because of its monopoly on what it offers. Sadly, the staff can be very unprofessional, especially if you don't belong to their group. The store aisles are overcrowded, it's a nightmare to shop with children. Plus they have a hardline 14-day return policy with absolutely no grace for even one day off, or exceptions even during the holidays/gifts... not for store credit, exchanges, nothing. That is just unacceptable for a business.Prices are just average.If I return, it will be just to steal ideas and then go shop online.
