Ben Franklin has changed very little in my 31 years of life. I've never seen a business get stuck…read morein such a time warp. I'm not saying that this is a bad thing, but it could stand a good dusting once in awhile. If you are looking for a model car kit this is the place to go. They have one whole aisle dedicated to model cars and the paints, glues and other materials needed to put them together. If you are looking for a fish or gerbil/hamster tank then they have a lot to offer. Ben Franklin's has a lot of great castles and rocks to put inside of fish tanks. They also have a lot of accessories/cages for birds as well. Venture down into the basement and into Neptune's Cellar. They have a great selection fish food, fake fish tank plants, tank accessories (rocks, sculptures, etc), and all of the stuff you need to set up a tank. They also have a great selection of fish. A hidden gem in the basement of a small little store in Amherst, Ohio. Neptune's cellar is great and worth your time!

They were super knowledgeable and even offered to right size my daughter for a bike even if I didn't end up buying it from them. Lastly, they even helped me load it into my suv because I was not sure it would fit! Super fast service and I will be coming in on Tuesday when they open (wrote this on a Sunday) to look for bike mirrors! I would also love it if they offered service at my house as it's not always easy to get my bike in and out of my suv with the car seats. haha Thanks A&B

I needed a flat repaired on my recumbent trike. New to the area, I did not purchase the trike…read morelocally. Let's just say A&B has their priorities in place. EXCELLENCE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE. They were busy at the time I entered serving other customers and greeted me immediately, with a smile, letting me know that they were aware I was waiting. When handling my trike flat, they asked if I wanted to wait. What? Like now? Gotta love it. So naturally I waited and remembered a few other issues with my trike, of which I had a complex seat issue. I had ordered some seat "wings" previous to my move. It entailed drilling the carbon seat to fit the wings to make riding more secure as I'd almost been tossed before while encountering some uneven terrain. I quickly drove home and retrieved the parts. This team took the time to figure out the installation, even though the fittings provided by the manufacturer needed considerable tweaking and required much more time to complete. That evening I received a call my trike was repaired and ready to pick up. It was done to perfection. I'm so pleased to now have a bike shop that is efficient and exceptionally competent in their skills that provides service with a smile. If you're in need of a new bike, parts or repairs, I highly recommend stopping by. This team will make sure you leave happy! Thank you!

There was nothing in the store for hobbies that I enjoy. I did not care for how the store was laid out. It was clunky and awkward, not visually appealing, and not set up in a way to encourage sales.
