Take a Detour. Support Local.
If you’ve driven through Franklin recently, you’ve likely noticed the major construction taking place along U.S. 31. While this work is an important investment in the future growth and safety of our community, it has also created challenges when it comes to getting around town.
At the Franklin Chamber of Commerce, we want to remind you that our local businesses are still open and continue to need community support.
These businesses do more than provide goods and services. They create local jobs, contribute to economic development and play an active role in shaping the community we all value. When you choose to shop, dine or do business locally, you’re helping ensure Franklin remains strong during this temporary disruption.
Here are a few simple ways to help:
- Plan ahead. A few extra minutes on your drive is worth the difference your visit makes.
- Shop local first. Before going elsewhere, check if a Franklin business has what you need.
- Spread the word. Share your favorite businesses with friends, family and on social media.
- Purchase gift cards. They’re a great way to support businesses now and enjoy later.
- Leave a review. Positive online reviews help new customers discover Franklin businesses.
The construction won’t last forever, but the impact of supporting local will. Each choice to spend locally helps our businesses weather this season and positions Franklin for long-term success.
