Zula & Mac
A Growing Legacy Expands Across Franklin
Built on a legacy of hard work and family values, Zula & Mac is more than a destination for home and lifestyle. It is a multigenerational family business deeply rooted in Williamson County.
For nearly a century, the historic corner on Lewisburg Avenue has served as a gathering place for the Franklin community. Originally home to Henry’s Market and the GilCo - Franklin’s first drive-in restaurant - the property was acquired by Toby and Hazel Green in 1987. For the next thirty years, Hazel operated the beloved Country Charm Antique Mall, welcoming neighbors and visitors while sharing her love of vintage finds and treasured pieces. More than a place to shop, it became a familiar gathering spot where friendships flourished and memories were made.
Following Hazel’s passing in 2016, her daughter, Pam Hood, stepped forward to honor her mother’s legacy while beginning a new chapter for the family business. Pam reimagined the historic property, transforming the antique mall into a thoughtfully curated boutique featuring fashion, home furnishings, and décor. Blending heirloom-inspired design with fresh, modern influences, she created a destination that celebrates both timeless style and everyday living.
Reopening in 2017 as Zula & Mac - a heartfelt tribute to Pam’s grandmother, Zula, and granddaughter, Mac - the store quickly became a local favorite, known for its distinctive merchandise, gracious hospitality, and Southern charm.
With the continued support of the community, Zula & Mac celebrated an exciting milestone this fall with the opening of a second location inside the historic Factory at Franklin. Rather than leaving its roots behind, the expansion marks a new chapter in the family’s story while keeping its original location, now known as The Flagship on Lewisburg Avenue, vibrant and thriving.
The new Factory location features two distinct yet complementary spaces. Suite 12B showcases seasonal décor, everyday gifts, and entertaining essentials, while Suite 12C focuses on home interiors, fine furniture, and statement lighting. Meanwhile, The Flagship continues to offer a full selection of home furnishings alongside exclusive specialties, including women’s fashion, artisan jewelry, outdoor living essentials, and French country décor.
With an appreciation for timeless design and the beauty of a well-appointed home, Zula & Mac embraces the art of blending old-world charm with modern living. Each piece is thoughtfully selected for its distinctive style, warmth, and character, creating an inviting aesthetic that reflects Southern luxury with a touch of the unexpected.
From elegant furnishings and statement lighting to distinctive accessories and thoughtful gifts, the collections reflect a love of beautiful details and timeless design. The Zula & Mac team takes pride in helping customers discover pieces that complement their personal style, creating homes that feel both beautifully appointed and genuinely lived in.
Whether visiting The Flagship at 301 Lewisburg Avenue or exploring the new spaces at The Factory, guests will find more than beautiful merchandise. They will discover a family business shaped by generations of hard work, a passion for gracious living, and a lasting connection to the community it calls home.
