My favorite place to get framing done. Get supplies for quilting projects. Get yarn for crocheting projects. Many creative supplies here !##

Great craft shop! I was pleasantly surprised by the fabric selection!!

A crafters dream! A crafters wallets worst nightmare! They have so much fun stuff.

Communicated with by friendly staff whom answered questions I had. Fun store!

I was taking care of my daughter in Grass Valley (Im from the Bay Area) and I always loved Ben Franklin store there. I especially love the jewelry things. Because of the pandemic I hadnt been to GV in awhile. I was excited to go there. The store has changed a lot. I wandered around and took in the changes they had made. They left out the fun stuff they used to have. I left there not buying anything- a first since 1972! I was disappointed.

This place is fun to shop at. They have a lot of different supplies for different crafts. And a serious selection of frames. I was impressed with their variety of beautiful picture frames! They also have a lot of different stickers.The last time I was at Ben Franklin I purchased a puzzle, which Im working on now. They have quite a few to choose from too.

Always love this place! They have all sorts of ideas for crafting! A little high priced though, so I only go here if Im looking for something specific. Lots of lovely beads, yarns and even fabrics!

They carry most of the common krafting supplies but not on the large scale of Michaels or Hobby Lobby but you can easily find someone to help and I dont have to drive 25+ miles and waste the better part of a day.

Fantastic store. Staff could be a little friendlier, but otherwise great place.

Fantastic store. The staff is friendly, helpful and well trained. Shelves are organized and stocked.

Even though it is a bit pricey I still love to shop here.

Whether you are an artist, seamstress, scrapbook enthusiast, or just crafty, you can find anything you need here. They also have a nice variety of small home decor items. The prices are a little higher then other competitors, but they often have discount coupons to take advantage of.

As ll the crafts and amazing ideas they show are awesome

Helpful staff, great selection fair pricing! Shop local!!

Best craft store in town. But were a small town. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the stock is often a lifesaver for artists and crafters. They have an extensive art supplies department, lots of paper craft supplies, a fabric and yarn department, toys, and apparently acres of decor and crafty doodads.The staff is very friendly and always helpful. I know that they work with local charities. As always with small town stores, they cannot compete with the big chains or online sources on price and selection. But I go there often, Im glad they are there, and we would miss them if they closed their doors. Shop local, people, it matters!

Love Ben Franklin!! Lots of really cool gift ideas and a great supply of art supplies!!

I will no longer support any business that demands one wear a mask in their store. There are alot of businesses locally that do not do this. The employees stand behind their bulletproof plexiglass telling customers what they have to do and to me it screams youre not welcome here so I will spend my money elsewhere. Mandates are NOT LAWS. They dont care when you tell them you have a medical condition that makes a mask intolerable.

I love this store. It is so crafty with art supplies, yarn, sewing, lots of material, framing..I could go on.

Very surprising in its scope!Found a ton of actual knitting yarn and supplies!

The variety of craft supplies is unique and customer service was more then adequate.

My favorite art n crafts store.

This was an amazing step back in time & found what I was looking for.

Tons of items to fulfill your crafting needs

They did a great job framing my art.

Always have fun in there. So many things to be creative.

Love this store... and the fabric department is much better stocked now.

In the Tahoe area there aren’t a lot of art supply store options. For me this was an hour drive, but I was happy to find many things on my list. I think small bottles of acrylic paints are really in demand now and so they’re supply was pretty spotty, but they had a good sewing supply section with lots of DMC embroidery threads, fabrics, elastic ribbon, tie dye powders and paint brushes. I would recommend this store if you are in the Grass Valley area. It’s right next to highway.

BEN FRANKLIN, craft suppliesI just purchased some holiday fabric to make some Christmassy surgical masks for gifts. If I have time, I might make some extra masks for the homeless, because masks are mandatory now. You can get a $100 fine for not wearing a mask.

A lot of craft stuff. Kits etc.

This art and craft store is great for all your crafting, decorating, knitting and artistic needs.

Ive been here a few times now. This lateat time I came to get some pictures framed, and they did an excellent job. Very patient, and like to try to help with matching frames of it looks like youre struggling. (Which I was)The store is a very nice and well stocked craft store too. They have everything for every craft you can think of. Even leathercraft which is hard to come by.They also have an attached frame room, not with just custom framing, but also every standard picture frame from large to small sizes.

Very helpful staff in the fabric department.

Very clean, lots of well displayed merchandise. Good customer service.

I recommend this crafts store over any chain store. Employees are extremely friendly and super nice!

Crafts! Candles! Frames! Bath bombs! Colouring pens! Fabric! My goodness do those folks have a lot of fabric choices. It, being Ben Franklin is the best arts and crafts store around.( that I know of anyway ) I get my hair bands there too. They have a hundred different patterned hair bands ranging in price from about 6.99 to about 12.99. Now that may sound expensive, but Im talking cute, durable, washable, long lasting hair bands. And they have Yankee Candles in a number of different sizes. You cant go wrong with any place thats cool enough to carry Yankee. Obviously I biased. Check out Ben Franklin for yourself, youll not leave empty handed.

I really like Ben Franklin Crafts because there is such a variety of options for crafts and decorating. It is also a great place to get ideas.

I love love love Ben Franklins! The staff is so very amazing!! My granddaughters & I love crafting & they carry pretty much everything we are ever looking for. And if they dont carry it they offer to get it. I love to bake and they carry a lot of the specialty items I need. They have many lovely gifts and home decor & home decor ideas. We also take advantage of the classes they offer and their very knowledgeable staff. Ive been shopping there since I was a little girl!

This store offers some really good variety asking with some VERY knowledgeable and helpful staff thats been there for years.

Loved the quality! It felt better than Hobby Lobby. It was also a nice experience to look through the store with my grandma that I dont get to see very often.

So much to choose from and they are very helpful!

Has the crafty things i need

Great selection of fabrics! The girls who work there were very friendly and helpful.

Very helpful.

Convenient but overpriced on most items.

They way to expensive

They have quality items.

Great selection and staff🤙

This is a great store for crafts, material, frames, art supplies and so on. They have a variety of things. They offer card making classes, scrapbooking classes, sewing classes, mixed media classes, mommy and me classes even knitting/crocheting classes. I live over an hour away and Ive taken classes here. They offer a discount if you take a class. I just wish they had more supplies for cake making, candy making and cookie making.

I LOVED it and was in Heaven!!!! I absolutely adore the craft store, Michaels. This store is DEFINITELY comparable!!! With such nice, helpful employees as well!!! I stumbled across this store and cant wait to start coming here often!!!!

We looked all over the place for clear plastic to cover a table. Ben Franklin was the only place we could find it and they cut it to the size we wanted.

EXCELLENT customer service, always, in every department, since I started shopping here for decades! Everyone is knowledgeable & they have great ideas. I just picked up a simple pattern for reversible grocery bags and the material was on sale. They have a lot of fabric sales. I have shopped in every craft section of the store over the years.

Ben Franklin has been the go to place for a wide variety of craft supplies, whether it be your own projects or for inspiration to satisfy your inner artist. Prices vary from a little high to pretty reasonable. Its a nice hands on place to put it all together.

Clean store friendly staff parking is a little crazy due to shared parking with a busy shopping Center but definitely a place to go for all things crafty

A little pricey but you can tell that they put work into this place. The store is always neat and they have a great selection.

Really kind staff, when I was waiting in line to get in they asked everyone if they knew what they wanted from the store and I was there for a frame so they brought me out frames and rung me up while I waited outside:)

Always friendly

Need more variety, and employees need better knowledge of items they sell. Prices are a bit to high. And when returning items, not everyone is a thief returning things for a profit...

Helpful employees know about using their products from experience. No sewing machines sold here.

The gentleman in framing was wonderful and knowledgeable. He was kind and helped us find just the right frame. However the cashier, Audrey D., was rude and denied us the teacher discount offered. I was told I had to be in the system in order to get an discounts and then stated Its the policy. She was helpful and does not know what customer service is. Not only did she lack customer service but in the end what she said was wrong and therefore she lied. Their website clearly states, Come in to our store with your valid Teachers ID or apply using the form below! This is copied directly from their website. We spent $80 on frames and all she wanted was to ring us up and leave. The GM Mr. P was apologetic but I dont feel anything will be done. It seems that instead of keeping our money local and in our county we will go to Michaels in Auburn. They offer a hassle free discounts for teachers and have always been kind, courteous, and helpful. Ben Franklins is no longer the only game in town.

They had what I was looking for at a reasonable price.

I have not been able to find anything that I need but they dont have. I come in with a need and the women who work there lead me to the right tools for the job I have! They can even help men who are afraid to ask for help, like me.

Tons of selection, Tons of ideas, and great workers! Cant wait to go back! There is also a picture frame shop. Custom or standard, you can get it there.

I found the yarn I was looking for

Always quality product & professional help.

Enter the store...get your free popcorn..munch your way through aisles and aisles of crafty delights. Sniff all the candles. Dont forget the picture frame area with a huge selection. Unique greeting cards. The store is great but the popcorn makes shopping even better. Did I mention the popcorn?

Got fabric for my next quilt. Everyones very helpful. They have classes! Theres always someone knitting there, who can help you oit of a bad spot!

Helpful staff worth a good selection of craft items.

Ben Franklin in Grass Valley, California has a very good selection of craft and art supplies. Each department has knowledgeable, friendly staff. The fabric department is staffed by award-winning quilters and sewers and is well-stocked. Likewise in the exceedingly well-stocked yarn department. Most in the yarn department both knit, and crochet. 2 people work in both departments and are proficient in each. The paper, bead, and fine arts departments are also terrific. There in always some cute thing for decorating, too. Ben Franklin is a community hub, too; I always see someone I know while shopping. Its also a great place to connect with new people who have common interests. Its the local go-to place for costumes, also.

The staff here are friendly and knowledgeable. Never had a bad experience!

Was good a social distancing and number of shoppers at a time.

Not many craft places left! Always fun to go thru Ben Franklin and grab a bag of complimentary popcorn and browse the isles!

It has a lot of useful things and professional artist quality items. However a lot of it is over priced

Always a pleasure shopping here! Great customer service!

I love stopping in and getting inspired. I find alot of good stencils and things to use as stamps for my pottery

I really like Ben Franklins. Everyone is nice and polite. We got beads for my son and bracelets for me. Prices are good and its easily accessible.

Great selection of crafty stuff, very knowledgeable and helpful staff, decent hours and sometimes free popcorn!

As a seamstress, I get the most wonderful help from all of the women & one young man who tend to the fabric/notions department. They are knowledgeable & always pleasant. 👍

Fun place with lots of different crafts but they are kinda pricey.

For a craft store I was pretty impressed by their selection of fabrics and yarn.

You can find anything you need and everyone is so very helpful

The best place for matting and framing, friendly too.

Sometimes I just go in there and roam around just to pick up theART vibes. Can be a little pricey on some items however. But the convenience is good for so the artists that live around here.

Very helpful when I ask an employee for guidance in finding a product or using a product. Im grateful I can walk in and look at the fabric or other supplies rather than hope for the best when ordering off line.

Ive had many concert posters put into frames. Some were custom frames and some were stock. Everyone was so helpful and inspiring. We spent a lot of time getting things selected each time. Im proud to put the work theyve done on my walls.

Professional framing at reasonable prices and virtually any craft supplies you may need. Plus helpful staff..why go anywhere else?!

They are well stocked, friendly and helpful.

This place contains almost everything one needs for any craft project. Most of all I appreciated how very helpful the staff is.

The best craft store and custom framing place around.

Wonderful store for craft and hobby needs. Plus they have great things with which to decorate your home.

Nice selections in many crafts. Very good selection of high quality yarns. Staff members are very helpful. If you are in the Grass Valley area, its definitely worth the visit.

Enjoy this store every time I visit. Love the fabric selection.

I love the abundance of crafts and the knowledge of the staff. They also have some really pretty and unique gifts!

Love this store. Plenty of variety for any project or craft. Prices, I think are a little high compared to Michaels . Overall wonderful store.

Very organized. They have a great selection.

So many possibilities... From what I recall, their model selection is meager tho; gundamsand warhammer 40k are where its at nowadays, especially the ones that dont require glue. To describe the atmosphere, one standard tactical art&craft plus frame shop, with adequate assistants! Theyve got a nice wood selection if you wanna build toy planes; dont know if they have toy-plane engines tho. I bought some wood to repair a chair joint.

Great shop to get inspired on a new activity or stock up for your current project. Fantastic fabric and yarn selection, plus almost any crafty hobby you can think of.

Fantastic craft store with really kind employees. The frame shop never disappoints on my custom requests.

Great selection helpful staff. Good prices on yarn.

Lots of nice ideas but hardly any crafty help to bring out my artistic imaginative ideas into a realistic functional piece of something

Super helpful staff, and lots if neat stuff!
