Traditions Old and New

Local Black Friday Shopping and Coffee Breaks

For most of us, Thanksgiving is a day full of traditions. The parade, the cranberry sauce, the football game – these things all quickly come to mind when thinking about “Turkey Day.” One of the most popular traditions these days, however, comes after the tryptophan wears off.

Black Friday has nearly become a national holiday all its own. Once a negative symbol of retail chaos, the name was later used to represent the idea that stores turn a large enough profit the day after Thanksgiving to move their sales records out of “the red” into “the black.” Nowadays, the event has turned into a four-day shopping extravaganza. There’s nothing like kicking off the holiday
season, newspaper ads in hand, with a day full of hot deals and cool gifts. Whether you like to gear up for a solo mission at 5:00 a.m. or take your best shopping companion to hunt the deals all weekend, stop and take a stroll through Franklin’s beautiful stores and restaurants to experience that warm sense of tradition you can’t find anywhere else. Soak it up while you wander from the gift shops to the coffee stops and perhaps make some new traditions with loved ones.

Riverside Franklin – 144 Bridge Street
You’ll find Riverside tucked in the heart of downtown Franklin. This familiar but one-of-a-kind store is family owned and full of small-town charm. Amongst their collection of furniture, lighting, wall art, jewelry and clothing, you’ll be sure to find the perfect gift for your loved one. Drop by the store or view their beautiful items at riversidefranklin.com.

Honest Coffee Roasters – 230 Franklin Road, Suite 11A
If you do some shopping at The Factory on Black Friday, be sure to take your coffee break at Honest Coffee Roasters. Their coffee is both roasted and brewed right there in The Factory. With dozens of different coffee drinks to choose from, they’ll be sure to give you the extra zip you need to finish that holiday shopping. www.honest.coffee.

Mercantile 1858 – 1137 W Main Street
Locally owned and operated, Mercantile 1858 opened its second location just down the road from the square on W Main Street. This is not your typical home décor store.

Coffee & Coconuts - 4000 Hughes Crossing Suite 120
If palm trees and bright sunshine are more your thing than falling leaves and jackets, then Coffee & Coconuts is the coffee shop for you. With such a warm, beachy atmosphere, it’s hard to remember that it’s not summer anymore when you’re inside the store. Pop in for a coffee and to brighten up your day. They offer a long coffee menu as well as a light food menu that you can view at coffeeandcoconutstn.com.

Southerner’s Coffee – 328 5 th Avenue N.
Southerner’s Coffee is big flavor served right out of a cute, little trailer. If you’re tired of pounding the pavement in downtown Franklin, hop in your car and swing by for a Rainbow Bagel, Pumpkin Cuban Latte, or an Elevation Drink. The best part is you don’t have to get out of your car. You can pull right up and drive through it on your way out of Franklin from a successful day of Black Friday shopping.
