“We create lifestyles for people”
From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:
https://www.milforddailynews.com/news/20191115/beautiful-by-design-franklin-mill-store-takes-on-role-as-center-for-art-interior-design
The Franklin Mill Store (https://franklinmillstore.com/) is well positioned in the "Crossing" section of Franklin which is also being planned for additional and appropriate economic development. If you have not yet answered the survey being conducted, please do so. You can find it on the Town’s Economic Development Site: https://www.franklinma.gov/home/news/franklin-economic-development-survey
"Ever since they began as makers of woolen fabric during the mid-19th century, operators of the sprawling mill on Franklin’s Union Street have found little ways to reinvent the building’s purpose - from making woolen uniforms for Union forces during the Civil War, to selling woolen remnants in the 1940s, to stocking millions of yards of fabrics and yarns, threads and ribbons, and offering classes to turn it all into something useful and beautiful.
For more than 150 years, the mill has become a proud Franklin fixture - like a beloved, if worn, heirloom passed from generation to generation - and has continued to draw people through its doors: First to create, and then to inspire creativity.
Once again, there is reinvention taking place within the faded brick walls of The Franklin Mill Store. The vision builds upon the success of the fabric and sewing supplies store and spins forward the notion of the mill as a place of creation and artistry, with an eye toward making the mill into a suburban iteration of the types of interior design centers that usually require a trip into a big city.
The third-generation family textile business recently celebrated a soft launch of its newly renovated design center, and unveiled a new partnership with local artists that exhibits their work and offers it for sale to those who come to the center in search of fresh interior touches or entirely new interior design ideas."Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)

Kevin Stone provides the write up on the game for MetroWest
"It had been 37 years since the Franklin football program had a sectional or state trophy to put on display at Franklin High School. And while the consolation hardware wasn’t what the Panthers were looking for on Friday night, there is no denying how far the program has come.
Second-seeded Franklin lost to top-seeded Catholic Memorial in the Division 1 South championship, 42-8. With the win, the Knights (10-0) advance to the Division 1 Super Bowl at Gillette Stadium in a few weeks.
The Panthers (7-3) still have one game left on Thanksgiving, but the Division 1 South finalist trophy that is headed back to Franklin signifies quite a bit of growth from a program that just was a two-win team during head coach Eain Bain’s first year in 2016.
“It’s a consolation prize, but we haven’t put a trophy in the case at Franklin High School since 1982,” Bain said following the loss. “I wasn’t even born yet, some of our coaches weren’t even born yet, so look, tonight wasn’t our night. CM is a great program. They’re able to bring in guys from all over and they’ve assembled a lot of talent."Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)

Dunkin replacing foam cups with cardboard
From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:
"By Dec. 1, all Dunkin’ restaurants across New England will have phased out foam cups and replaced them with double-walled paper cups, the company announced Friday.
But that’s not the only change.
The brand is also taking a stand against double cupping, encouraging customers to “break up with the double cup,” said Dunkin’ Chief Operating Officer Scott Murphy.
Dunkin’ is launching a marketing campaign to alert customers to the end of the practice of nesting an iced beverage — already in a plastic cup — inside a foam cup to provide additional insulation, resulting in added waste."
