REDEFINING BRICK AND MORTAR
INDEPENDENT, LOCAL, SUSTAINABLE
Oberlin's historic Ben Franklin store, located at 13 West College Street, Oberlin, OH, opened in 1935 and continues to offer a wide array of goods. Today, Ben Franklin features classic variety goods, fair trade gifts, unique toys and games, fabric and yarn, art supplies, houseplants, and even a custom frame shop. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor, the store is a one-stop destination for discovering unique items in Oberlin.
Our friendly staff is well-known for excellent customer service, and if you don’t see what you need we will try to get it for you from one of our suppliers. We love getting to know our customers. Stop in today!
A SOCIAL GATHERING SPACE
As an independent small town store in the age of online shopping and big box stores, we are looking to redefine brick and mortar. The new gazebo in the center of the store has quickly become known as a community gathering space and great place to hang out with friends. We host book and poetry readings, mini concerts, knitting group gatherings, and more. We have a piano, and you are welcome to play it anytime. Or just stop by for a little rest and relaxation - we have free wifi that you're welcome to use. You can grab a snack from our extensive selection and make yourself at home.
