The Factory at Franklin
Originally a stove factory and later a mattress factory, The Factory at Franklin was saved from demolition in 1996 and has since been reimagined as one of Middle Tennessee’s premier shopping destinations. Its authentic character remains at the heart of the experience, from exposed brick and heavy wooden beams to the original factory windows that fill the campus with natural light. Today, more than forty businesses call The Factory home, welcoming over half a million visitors each year.
SHOP STYLES YOU WON'T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE
Locally owned boutiques like Nic & Maude, Stella Rhodes and GG Boutique offer styles that set you apart and make you feel great. The FIND curates secondhand clothing full of one-of-a-kind pieces, so every visit brings new discoveries. For gifting and home decor, Lemon, Ameraucana Blue, Zula & Mac and Fork of the South have something to suit every style and every name on your list. Anthropologie and its sister brand Terrain round out the mix with fashion, home goods and garden-inspired finds.
REFUEL, RELAX AND TREAT YOURSELF
Make a day of it. Grab a sweet treat between stops at Five Daughters Bakery or Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams or sip something fun from Bubble Love. Settle in with a drink at Two Hands, The White Alligator, etch or Saffire, and don’t skip the chips and salsa at Mojo’s. Find your zen at Ground Floor Yoga, and before you head home, pick up a Slim & Husky’s pizza for dinner.
MORE TO EXPERIENCE
Beyond shopping, The Factory is alive with things to do. Turner Theater and The Mockingbird Theater host live performances throughout the year, Liberty Hall welcomes concerts, weddings, and community celebrations, and The Skylight offers a relaxed spot to unwind with friends. Seasonal favorites from the Factory Farmers Market give you a reason to come back again and again.
At the center of it all is the Carousel of Dreams, one of The Factory’s most cherished landmarks. Operated by The Circle of Giving, The Factory’s nonprofit arm, the carousel brings joy to riders of all ages while supporting charitable causes in our community.
GROWING WITH FRANKLIN
Owned and operated by Holladay Properties, The Factory continues to grow alongside the city around it. A new parking garage is under construction to make visiting easier than ever, guided by the same principle that saved the property in 1996: honoring the past while building something lasting for the community’s future.
