The Downtown Franklin Association, a division of the Heritage Foundation of Williamson County, recently announced the return of Small Business Saturday on Saturday, November 25, 2023.
The event, founded by American Express in 2010, provides an opportunity for downtown Franklin businesses to give everyone a great time and incentive to “Shop Small” on Main Street.
While promoting local shopping on this special day, the Downtown Franklin Association will also be supporting additional parking solution this entire holiday season by partnering with The Factory at Franklin and The Franklin Transit Authority to provide free transportation for downtown shoppers on Saturdays between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
This festive shuttle is heated and handicap accessible for passengers to take into downtown Franklin from The Factory. Running in 30-minute shifts between 10am-5pm on Saturdays – November 25th, December 2nd, 16th, and 23rd. Guests are picked up at the Factory and dropped off on Main Street at the Public Square and vice versa. The route travels down Main Street from the Factory, takes a right at Five Points and follows either Bridge or North Margin so guests can view the businesses on 2nd, 3rd and 4th Avenues as well.
Guests can enjoy a festive holiday season of shopping in downtown Franklin as well as Southern hospitality from one of Franklin Local volunteers.
