Joynes Department Store And Ben Franklin

This place is awesome! I am overwhelmed every time I go in here at all the products they carry. Their prices are very reasonable too! The new owners have done a great job of maintaining the old and bringing in some new items. The coffee is my main purchase every trip. It is by far the best!!! If you haven't tried it, you are missing out!

There are a lot of little treasures in Grand Marais, and Joynes is definitely one! It's a small-town department store, so it has a little bit of everything, but its quality is superior. Great selection of sweatshirts and hoodies and other souvenirs. They sell top quality shoes and jackets and even have Dale of Norway sweaters, if you are not familiar with it, you're not ready for it. ;) And they sell top quality whole bean or ground coffee! Don't overlook this downtown must see.

I love this store. and have all my life. HOWEVER, as of late, it’s been lacking in the LEGO department. a whole shelf dedicated to star wars?? listen, i like star wars as much as the next guy but PLEASE get some Ninjago sets up in there! Ninjago is the best LEGO genre, and the fact that my favorite department isn’t even acknowledging it, leaves me highly offended! #love #Ninjago4eva

Edit: they added Ninjago, guys, the world is saved. 10/10 store, highly recommend, has everything you could ever want. Thanks for being such a nostalgic place for me!

Great selection for the crafter and quilter! Didn't realize they had a full-on craft store in the back corner. Check it out!

I was so happy to find out that the owners of this store were previously the owners of the White Birch shop. I have fond memories of going into the White Birch store and seeing the holiday decorations. They always had a unique collection of teas and fresh ground coffee. I recommend to try the Snickerdoodle, my mom always buys some when we are in Grand Marais. I was excited for my mom to find out that they had purchased this Ben Franklin so my mom could get her coffee. I hope that they bring back the boutique tea pots and dishes and also the Candy selection! They also had a collection of unique clothes that were really nice. I am looking forward to see the new selections they add as I come up and visit again and again.

An excellent, all-around store in Grand Marais, with a rich history and busy, yet organized, atmosphere. They stock everything from soup to nuts, and they are particularly known for their well-made winter clothing lines, shoes, boots, sandals, and outdoor cooking supplies. Many categories of goods ensure that you will not leave empty-handed. Prices are reasonable, and significantly lower than some other merchants near the same street.

Great place to stop and explore. Everything from boots to camping trinkets, clothes to coffee and treats.

They have Zotz Candy & Cool Stickers...need I say more.

Love shopping at the Ben Franklin Store. We had to come back a second day just to look at everything. Lots of fun!

Very nice store. Lots of variety.

Just a fun place to shop. They have just about anything you may be looking for. My favorite is the craft area. Wait, It might be the souvenir area I can't decide.. They also have a wide variety of clothes. It reminds me of the good old days. I hope this store stays open for a long time.

They have everything from a $25 flannel shirt to a nice $300 sweater, kids toys, camping gear, odds and ends, shoes, sweatshirts and t-shirts. I've bought something every time I have gone in, today it was a great pair of hiking socks.

Wifey and I were about to try snowmobiles for our very 1st time. Every single employee in this store jumped in to ensure we got all the apparel we needed, and wished us well on our adventure. Such exquisite customer service. We are MUCH beholden to you wonderful people. Cheers!

We have come to this store every time we come up to the area. Thank you for taking care of your employees and customer. My family feels safe when we are in town and it is because you and other businesses have been considerate with your approach to the pandemic. We are trying to be safe and glad to see that Grand Marais is trying too.

Best shoe selection on the North Shore. It is a mini department store with a little bit of everything. Highly quality apparel. Store looks great since new owners or management took over in the last few years.

This place has everything you may need from undergarments, delicious camp chow, craft supplies, to toys and clothes. It appeals to the locals as well as a great spot for travelers. Last 4th of July, no other place in town had food coloring (since I guess it's not frequently used enough in the Summer) but to my surprise Joynes Ben Franklin had it!!

This place has everything you'd expect from a small town department store, from flannel shirts and outerwear to native wild rice. Focusing mostly on seasonal clothing, we always pick up something we forgot to pack -- warm slipper socks, an extra shirt, rain gear. Prices are reasonable.

This little department store may be small, but it has anything you will need while visiting Grand Marais. Selection is above average and the staff is courteous and attentive.

Please be mindful of the early closing times. They are though on par with the rest of the town.

Joynes is not your typical small town store; I live in Grand Marais and still love it. I found the cutest pair of boots and at 20% off! You'll find all kinds of traditional styles as well as interesting tidbits.

There are so many "must see" locations in Grand Marais, and Joynes' store is one of them. This is a combination of a general store, discount store, and clothing/camping/boating/outdoorsman store. It's actually entertaining touring the store and seeing all the wide variety of the things that they stock. We've found many supply items there over the years and it's always a nice experience to go back when in the area.
