Join us for a ribbon cutting celebrating a major milestone for Franklin Fixtures, a Cookeville manufacturer that has been crafting high-quality retail display fixtures for bookstores, libraries, and retailers nationwide since 1974! We're thrilled to celebrate the completion of their 28,000 square foot warehouse and facilities expansion. This was no small undertaking, involving a full rework of the site's sewer and water infrastructure, and it creates the room Franklin Fixtures needs considering their ongoing growth. A highlight of the new addition is their employee Wellness Room, providing on-site clinic and counseling services as a company-paid benefit to their team. It is a thoughtful touch that speaks to the kind of company they are. Join us Monday, May 18 at 11:30 am to congratulate them on this well-deserved milestone!
