Hā Penny is considered by many to be the most unique store in Frankenmuth.  Pronounced "Hay Penny" in the States, it is  named after the British Half-Penny.  Pronounced by the Brits as "Hayp-Knee", the Half-Penny has been out of circulation since the 1960's.  Great Britain also had a Penny and a Quarter Penny, called a farthing.

The name of our store came originally from an idea to install a path covered in British Half Penny's that led to a rock fountain in the middle of the store.  This idea never came to pass because we found that it was impossible to obtain the Hā Penny in large quantities.  Although the idea was quickly scrapped, the Hā Penny name stuck.
 

Hā Penny's merchandise is as distinctive and unique as the British Half-Penny.  Hā Penny carries over 90 varieties of Tea Bags and Premium Loose Tea, famous Trail of the Painted Pony and Cow Parade figurines, Tiffany Stained Glass Lamps, Sid Dickens Memory Blocks, Willow Tree figurines, the best handmade Soy Candles and many more gifts and accents for the home.  You will enjoy an array of unique and distinctive offerings at Hā Penny in downtown Frankenmuth.

(a Farthing is about the size of a U.S. Cent)
