Seven downtown Franklin shops are running holiday discounts for Small Business Saturday on Nov. 28, with deals up to 50% off and a food truck parked outside one store.
The Downtown Franklin Association published a shopping guide listing the participating businesses and their offers. All deals are in-store only unless noted.
Here's what shoppers can expect:
Hester & Cook, 340A Main St., is offering 30% off all day on tabletop pieces and paper goods.
Southern Cottage, 320 Main St., Suite 100, is taking 30% off Christmas décor.

Hop & Shop Trolley
The Downtown Franklin Association's guide also lists the free Hop & Shop Trolley as running every 30 minutes between The Factory and downtown Franklin on Nov. 29, Dec. 6 and Dec. 20, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The heated, handicap-accessible trolley drops off on Main Street at the Public Square and loops through 2nd, 3rd and 4th Avenues.
The guide, written by Will Clark, lists the trolley dates as Nov. 29, Dec. 6 and Dec. 20. It does not list the trolley as running on Small Business Saturday itself, Nov. 28.
