The Franklin Butchery was born the way the best things usually are, over good food and honest conversation between two families who became fast friends.

​

It started at a school carnival. Our daughters met in kindergarten and quickly became inseparable, and before long, so did we. Backyard cookouts turned into conversations about what Franklin was missing. More than once, we ran into each other at the grocery store, both searching for a quality cut of meat and leaving disappointed.

That was the moment. We looked at each other and said, “What are we doing? This town needs a butcher shop.”

​

What began as a simple idea grew into something bigger. We found this space in the heart of Franklin and saw the potential for more than a place that sold meat. We wanted something warm and unexpected. A place where you walk in and think, “This is cool.” A place where you can watch your steak being cut, ask for the exact thickness you want, and leave with a meal your family will remember.
