Once again, the Downtown Franklin Association is joining together to support our local merchants on Small Business Saturday on Nov. 26. This national effort, started by American Express in 2010, encourages people across the country to shop small in between Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Many of the shops and restaurants along America’s Favorite Main Street will be offering special sales and other promotions during the event.

More About Downtown Franklin Association:

Since its founding in 1984, the Downtown Franklin Association (DFA) has spearheaded the revitalization of Franklin’s historic downtown core. We’ve done it by following the four-point program of the National Main Street Center of the National Trust for Historic Preservation: Organization, Design, Promotion and Economic Restructuring.

Working in partnership with the Heritage Foundation of Franklin & Williamson County–the DFA’s parent organization–and with property owners, preservationists, city and county government, and local businesses in our historic retail district, the DFA has helped create one of the nation’s Main Street success stories. We’ve earned national recognition as an authentic, eclectic place that offers something for everyone in an atmosphere that reminds locals and visitors alike of a simpler time in our history – a place where community matters.
