Factory at Franklin

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.

🎄 Our stunning 20’ Christmas tree didn’t last as long as we’d hoped, but after consulting with the Franklin Fire Department, it was determined the tree needed to come down for safety reasons.
The safety of our patrons and our historic building is always top priority.

While we’re sad to see the tree go, we’re grateful for everyone who came to see it this season! Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to celebrating the New Year with you! ✨
