Ben Franklin Souvenirs

Not the same Ben Franklin 5 and Dime I grew up with but they have a great selection of souvenirs, clothing and beach gear. I always stop here when I come to the OBX.

Hubs purchased a chair from here and it was not the right kind. We took it back & they gladly let us exchange it. We ended up buying some OBX tshirts, sweatshirts & few other articles of clothing, as well as 4 hermit crabs (I know, right!!!).

My son & his friend each got 2 hermit crabs (dang teenagers, lol) & all the necessities to keep them happy & alive. The gentleman that helped us was simply wonderful! He was such a nice man & he was super helpful & very informative on how to take care of them. The store had everything you needed for the crabs and there was a nice selection to choose from.

They have a vide variety of clothes for the whole family from sweats to swimsuits to Hawaiian shirts. They also have a nice assortment of hats & shades as well as beach gear, fishing gear & souvenirs.

The cashier was also wonderful. She was so warm & friendly and she gave us even more pointers for the hermit crabs. They better stay alive now!!!

Nice, clean store with a large selection in stock. During our week stay, we ended up coming here four times, lol.

Classic beach shop that I've went to since I was little! I prefer to go here vs the big stores like Sun Sations and Wings.

They have small souvenirs, candy, beach towels, coloring books, shirts, hoodies... you name it.. they got it.

Large, clean, and well-stocked store.

Kites are slightly cheaper here than at Sunsation and much cheaper than at Kitty Hawk Kites, but the quality isn't comparable.

The souvenirs and clothing selection is about the same as at Sunsation and similar area stores. This store has sparklers and party snappers for dirt cheap.

Overall, worth stopping into if you have time to go from souvenir shop to souvenir shop (they're all so close to each other).

Perfectly located in Nagshead is this souvenir shop. They have all your beach needs, clothing, souvenirs, home decor and more. Unlike wings, Ben Franklin is VERY reasonable in pricing ! Also the sizes go up to 3XL .. at wings if you want a T-shirt or hoodie they will not have that size but BEN FRANKLIN WILL! Bait and tackle also available at this location ! It's a one stop shop ! All members of the family will enjoy this place !
This large store offers a pleasant shopping experience even with social distancing regulations. Staff was nice and helpful. I would highly recommend this store for your basic needs.

Ben Franklin store was a great Lil gem. The store was very clean and well organized with items from souvenirs to clothing, beach towels, chairs and so much more. Great prices and great selection of inexpensive good flip flops...I bought 2 pair!

Large souvenir shop where you can find clothing, stickers, stuff for the pool, various trinkets, etc.. We enjoyed taking our time wandering the aisles. So many things to discover and spend your money on. I defintely preferred this place to the other big box stores down the street.

Clean and spacious. Lots of touristy souvenirs. Not open off-season, so double check the hours which are different from the website and phone message...

This is a adorable souvenir shop! I noticed quite of bit of their stuff was inexpensive.
The outside of the building is gorgeous, we actually were here whilst they were re-painting so they must change it up every year.
They have a HUGE selection of clothing,which to be honest isn't really my thing but if you're looking for some items to take home this would be a good place to check out. I got a couple adorable shot glasses, a pearl mug and a coffee cup to give to my sisters back home.
I noticed some of the reviews aren't great,but it's a SOUVENIR SHOP you guys. It's not gonna be a boutique,Haha. The mural itself is worth going just to take photos of.

Huge souvenir shop, tons of junk that you don't need, but interesting nonetheless.

Their clothes were actually surprising; I never buy clothes outside of a few stores, but they had a cute sundress I couldn't pass up. I wore it and washed it, and it's still perfect quality, no shrinking or fading.

My boyfriend got a few shirts and he was very happy with his purchases. He went back the next day to exchange one for a bigger size and they didn't give him any trouble.

If you pick up the OBX coupon booklet, there's a coupon for a free OBX sticker with $10+ purchase. They give you two options, one black and white and one tiedye. Nice little free item to stick on your bumper or laptop.

Employees were very friendly and wearing their masks. Hand sanitizer available at cash register.
