Excited to welcome another locally owned, family business to The Factory. Welcome Zula & Mac and stay tuned for more updates on their opening.

Zula & Mac is growing! ✨ Our second Franklin location is coming to The Factory at Franklin this Fall! 🍁
 
Rooted in the Franklin community for decades, Zula & Mac is a locally and family-owned destination for home interiors and design, offering a thoughtfully curated collection of furniture, lighting, home décor, gifts, and entertaining essentials.
 
This fall, we’re bringing our signature mix of timeless pieces, rich textures, and distinctive finds to a brand-new space at The Factory — while our beloved flagship store remains open and isn’t going anywhere.
 
We can’t wait to welcome you to our newest location and become part of The Factory community.
 
Zula & Mac at The Factory — Opening Fall 2026.🍂✨
 
In the meantime, visit our flagship store at 301 Lewisburg Avenue just half a mile from Main Street in downtown Franklin, where you can shop our full collection of home furnishings and décor, along with our women’s clothing boutique.

We're grateful for our community and for the feedback you've shared about parking.

Recently, we piloted a 70-space short-term parking section combined with rideshare vouchers in response to patrons and tenants who wanted a convenient option for quick, one- or two-stop visits without circling campus. Our goal was to make visits to The Factory easier for everyone.

We've heard you. The pilot section is being reconfigured and the short-term signs have been removed. All parking at The Factory is free, including the additional 75 spaces we added this week near the carousel.

We're taking this as a chance to rethink the best long-term approach to short-term convenience parking. We genuinely appreciate your input. Please send your thoughts to [email protected].

We're also actively working to add parking capacity across campus, which will expand further when our parking garage opens. Our goal remains simple: a welcoming, convenient experience for everyone who visits The Factory at Franklin. Thank you for helping us make The Factory better.
