Keep It Local
The Franklin Downtown Partnership (FDP) wants to remind residents to “keep it local” by supporting small businesses in Franklin who have been there for them year after year.

With this in mind the FDP's goal is to provide Franklin residents with one place they can visit for all updated information on local businesses, as well as one website, www.franklindowntownpartnership.org , which lists small businesses in Franklin that sell gift cards. 

“During this time of social distancing, the Franklin Downtown Partnership is working hard to keep the community updated on the re-opening plans for each business,” said FDP Executive Director Lisa Piana. “With each new opening phase there is new information that needs to be communicated to residents. The FDP is committed to getting this information out in a timely manner.”

Update Your Business Info
The FDP is publicizing changes to Franklin business during the pandemic. If you have an update your business would like to share with the community, please complete this online form. If you have already completed the form once, remember to update the submission as needed.
