Flower Child Opening in Franklin!
If you’ve been dreaming of more healthy, fast-casual food options in Franklin, then get excited, because Flower Child is opening its first Tennessee location in Franklin this summer. The new establishment was announced by eleven-time James Beard nominated restaurateur Sam Fox and is part of Phoenix-based restaurant group Fox Restaurant Concepts. Flower Child joins Fox’s other popular Tennessee concepts including The Twelve Thirty Club, The Henry, and Pushing Daisies to name a few, as the hospitality group continues to invest and grow in the area (Fox was also behind True Food Kitchen). Flower Child will open this summer at Southside at McEwen, located near Whole Foods. The opening of the Franklin restaurant will mark Flower Child’s 42nd location in 15 states.

Fox is currently renovating a 3,703-square-foot restaurant, plus patio space, to create a unique-to-Tennessee version of Flower Child. Flower Child will be open for lunch and dinner seven days a week. They will have dine-in and patio dining along with a robust catering program. Additionally, guests can place to-go orders for pick-up, opt for curbside pick-up, or delivery. To enhance convenience, there is also a Flower Child app available, allowing guests to have a seamless ordering experience while earning exclusive rewards.
