🐝 Grand Openings

Good Morning Franklin.

Today is National Organize Your Home Day. This is a holiday my wife takes pretty seriously so we actually practice it daily.

I want to honor the official holiday the right way so, my plan… organize what I can today and then everything else can wait until January 14th, 2026.

Tecovas Opening in Downtown Franklin
Big news Franklin! Our historic downtown square is set to welcome a new addition. Tecovas, the iconic brand known for its high-quality leather goods and handmade boots, is announcing plans to open a new location at 306 Public Square in the Old Bank Building.

The late Victorian-era building holds decades of stories within its walls. Until 1926, it was the home of Franklin’s oldest bank, but an embezzlement scandal caused its collapse, sending ripples through the local economy. Its original woodwork, intricate detailing and timeless aesthetic are not only central to its charm, but also vital to maintaining the character of Main Street. Tecovas intends to embrace the building’s history by preserving its original features and aesthetic – a testament to their understanding of what makes Franklin unique.

Founded in Austin, Texas, in 2015, Tecovas has become a leader in Western wear. Known for its dedication to quality and hospitality, the retailer now boasts more than 40 storefronts across the country. Tecovas founder Paul Hedrick has been a frequent visitor to the Nashville area since launching the brand in 2015, and he and the Tecovas team have been searching for years for the perfect location in Franklin to bring the signature Tecovas retail experience to the bustling historic town.

The Tecovas store in Franklin is set to open later this year, though an official date hasn’t been announced yet.

Raising Canes Grand Opening
Raising Cane’s is celebrating its Grand Opening in Franklin TODAY at 10am at 7087 Bakers Bridge Road (near CoolSprings Galleria).

To kick things off, a special “Lucky 20” drawing will give 20 lucky customers (ages 13 and up) the chance to win Free Cane’s for a Year. The first 100 customers who purchase a Combo will receive a commemorative beanie and a Free Box Combo card for their next visit. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will include the Chamber of Commerce and local city officials.

The new location will be open daily from 10am to midnight.
