Tin Cottage, which opened in 1999, is celebrating twenty-five years in downtown Franklin. Owners Marianne and Greg DeMeyers have loved carrying on the traditions of this locally owned gift shop known fondly as “the happy place” to customers and friends.  

 

“One of our favorite blessings, from having a business in our community for twenty-five years, is now welcoming the next generation of our long time customers. It’s so wonderful to meet and greet the children and grandchildren of friends we have known for all these years. We are so grateful to still see their faces. Our children grew up in the aisles and are now working with us to carry on the love of our town,” noted Marianne. 

 

“We have always been very grateful for the Franklin community. For Tin Cottage absolutely, also for the friends and the place we raised our children. People come and go, but when they come back to Tin Cottage, they still tell us that it’s their happy place,” adds Greg. 

Marianne and Greg opened a new boutique in March of 2024. Southern Manor is also located in downtown Franklin on 3^rd Avenue North. Southern Manor is a lifestyle shop with women’s and men’s apparel, home, kitchen and entertaining.

Tin Cottage is the home for happy gifts inspiring smiles and laughter. A spot to always find a cozy Franklin sweatshirt, a memorable piece of jewelry, a forever fluffy Jellycat stuffy or a snarky pair of socks for the fun uncle. They will be celebrating their twenty-five years on November 16^th with giveaways and discounts. Please check their social media @tincottage for more details.
