Franklin’s New Factory Setting: GFiber Celebrates Official Service Launch at The Factory at Franklin with Full-Circle Community Event
On Wednesday, May 27, GFiber is hosting Franklin’s New Factory Setting – an official service launch celebration at The Factory at Franklin, marking an exciting milestone as the community becomes powered by GFiber connectivity.
This event represents a meaningful, full-circle narrative for GFiber and the Franklin community. In January 2025, GFiber announced its arrival in the city and broke ground at this same historic venue. Returning to The Factory to celebrate service officially going live underscores the company’s commitment to the Franklin community since day one.
The festivities will feature a vibrant, summer-inspired atmosphere with several key community elements and activations including:
- Community Rewards: Partnerships with local businesses inside The Factory to drive engagement. Every visitor who checks their home address for GFiber eligibility in participating stores will receive special offerings, including a $5 coupon from Honest Coffee Roasters.
- Civic Milestones: Remarks celebrating the launch by Franklin Mayor Ken Moore, GFiber’s Head of Government & Community Affairs John-Michael Cortez and representatives from the Williamson, Inc. Chamber of Commerce.
- Festive Decor & Photo Ops: Eye-catching displays featuring custom arrangements from Butterfly Balloon Co. and signature giant marquee signage from Letter Bright Nashville.
- Live Acoustic Performance: Entertainment provided by local Franklin resident and acclaimed singer/songwriter Dakota Striplin, who’s known for appearances on The Voice Australia and America’s Got Talent.
- Local Presence: The Franklin sales and retail teams will be on-site in custom “GFiber Franklin” shirts to assist attendees and share service details and information.
GFiber is utilizing an extended community format to reach the broader public, kicking off with the Wednesday, May 27 event which features high-profile civic remarks and formal media opportunities. Through its sponsorship of the Factory Farmers Market, GFiber will continue its celebrations on May 30, June 13, June 27, July 11, July 18, and July 25, where the team will partner with a different GFiber-powered Factory business on each market date. Formal civic remarks, photo opportunities, and media coordination remain focused exclusively on the May 27 kickoff event.
