Ben Franklin is a well-known one-stop shop in the Outer Banks, featuring a vast selection of beach gear, swimwear, fishing equipment, and souvenirs. Spanning over 21,000 square feet, this store offers everything from t-shirts and sweatshirts to home decor and children's books. Customers appreciate the reasonable prices and frequent sales, making it a great spot for souvenirs. Although the fishing gear department is notably large, the store also carries a variety of hats, flip-flops, and other beachwear. Visitors often enjoy browsing the clean and organized space, with many finding unique gifts. While some reviews mention that staff courtesy can vary, the overall experience is positive, making Ben Franklin a go-to destination for vacation needs.
A mix of everything beach related! Cheap prices and very friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit!

I recommend this store for souvenirs. They also offer t-shirts, sweatshirts, swimsuits, and cover-ups as well as a large variety of beachwear, hats, and flip-flops. The prices were reasonable with sales throughout the store.
