HouseMart Ben Franklin Crafts

Horrendous service here. I think she's a manager here, her name is Cherie Ann or something like that. She's rude and is very disinterested in helping customers. We love to support local but why should I pay more and get treated like dirt? This is not the first time I've noticed her bad attitude either.The other younger girls working were really nice and helpful, but other than that, lots of empty shelves/pegs and high prices. Pass.

I'm not an artsy fartsy "crafts" kinda guy, but what brought me here at Ben Franklin is because I was looking for a wooden stick/pole.I have an old dust pan that I use in the yard, and over the years, the metal dust pan handle broke (as the handle rusted out) due to us leaving the dust pan outside in the elements. Normally, I would just throw away the dust pan & buy a new dust pan at a hardware store but since our old dust pan was perfectly fine & just needed a new handle, I decided to fix it.After thinking about where I could buy a wooden stick/pole, Ben Franklin came to mind.Where is the Ben Franklin store located?I know there there are several Ben Franklin's around the islands, but the store I went to was located at the Market City Shopping Center. The Ben Franklin crafts store is fronting across the street from Kaimuki High School. Upon looking around the store, I realized the store is more than just artsy fartsy crafts, as the store also sold tools, picture fames, baking/cooking pans, sewing items, and alot more stuff that I couldn't have imagined. Eventually, while walking around the store, I found my wooden stick/pole, and it was the perfect item I needed to fix my dust pan.

Shopping in Honolulu, Hawaii...My mom needed pins to make wreaths. Ben Franklin was nearby, so, I took her there. It's a craft store with other locations in Mapunapuna and Kailua. This one is at Market City Shopping Center - on the lower level. The closest entrance to the free shared parking lot is on Kaimuki Avenue.We both used to have Club Cards which give members a discount. Our memberships expired and we don't visit often enough to renew our memberships. That's okay... We still will visit because of the great selection of items and friendly service!I used to be more crafty. I have purchased yarn, ribbon, rubber stamps, pens, paper, elastic, card stock, ornaments, stuffing for pillows, fabric, etc. from Ben Franklin in the past.On this visit, mom was able to find the pins that she needed. She also got the last two wreath bases and a few sprigs of poinsettia and holly with Christmas berries and pine cones!This was a fun and productive visit! We'll be back!

Our most reliable source for all things crafty - as well as a great selection of pens and holiday items! Join the club and get a percentage off your purchases! Also, they have an incredible selection of yarn (I know! And in reasonable prices!) and party things in so very many colors. They offer some classes too! The staff are very helpful, so definitely ask if you have questions. And the really fun thing is that they have lockers for people selling their wares! So if you're looking for something local and want to support someone getting started, come check it out!

The staff is really helpful and friendly here and I just love to browse all the craft supplies! The prices are pretty reasonable too. The local artist lockers are my favorite thing about this store though!

This one is closed. (just found out driving up). There's one in Pearl City. Ready to support this place over mainland Hobby Lobby.

Best time was day after Christmas! My friend and I still delivering Christmas presents because everyone was too busy. Afterwards, we had a lunch special at Gyotaku. Before going back to the office, I needed to get these multi iPhone plugs (2 iPhones and/or iPad). These are hard to find and great gift to all my iPhone friends and families at $20 each. They come in red, black, gray, pink, and white...about 5 ft long.Funny, I need to charge my phone while on it...in front of my television. You can call it multi-tasking...Lol! While there, Im planning early for next year.We decided to browse around and found these kids $3 poppers which comes handy to destress or while waiting more than 20-30 minutes in a line. However, I got a chance to look at other possibilities crafts I can do and hopefully have time to work on some hobbies of mine.The friendly staff are on floor giving suggestions and/or directing to your requested items. If you don't have a $10 yearly membership, you should get one. You get 10% off of all purchases. I save a good about during the year.Everyone must wear their masks. Be safe gang! Ciao!

Always helpful have all you need and it so fun to roam the aisles! The staff know their inventory and that held a lot. Shop early before your holiday and things go fast!

The service is always helpful and friendly. Good selection of ribbons and holiday items. My go to for any crafting project.

Good place for getting craft materials. Sale is great and the staff are helpful. Custom framing shop is excellent. Highly recommended.
