Factory at Franklin

The Factory at Franklin is a unique, historic retail and entertainment complex that houses a variety of restaurants, storefronts, and event spaces.

Built in 1929, The Factory occupies the buildings that once served as the Dortch Stove Works, Magic Chef and later the Jamison Bedding Company. A member of the National Register of Historic Places, The Factory is rich with history and a very careful renovation has preserved many of The Factory's original features and architectural details. Calvin bought the sprawling complex seven years ago and, a

fter an environmental clean-up, began opening the facility in sections. Today, The Factory at Franklin has 83 tenants. Imagine that factory coming alive with concerts, dining, shopping, meetings, live theatre, art galleries, decorators' showcases, antiques and offices. Our unique facility can serve all this and more. Take a look at The Factory in its days as a bustling, working factory, then embark on a photographic tour of its renovation and transformation to the diverse and vibrant shopping and entertainment complex it is today.

An example of their Princess Range, pictured here with its creators, can be seen in the lobby of Building 8 near our friends at Fork of the South, Ground Floor Yoga and Wellbeing and Third Coast Clay!
