Quick question, Franklin: How far are you willing to travel to shop for anything?

Edited to Add: This has been very helpful, thank you. I really wanted to see your travel limits for our new Retail Roundup feature, to see how large a net I should cast for retail news. You've given me some good information.

The Franklin Reporter & Advocate
does depend on notification
in order to juggle scheduling…
We are in a very busy season right now,
and heading into the holiday season,
which promises to be even moreso.

We cannot view every Facebook/ Community page for events…
Please include us on your lists…follow up…
We have covered the events you have made us aware of in a timely manner…

As always, our mission from
Day One over thirteen years ago, is:
“We Bring Franklin TO Franklin.”
And the greatest comment we hear is
“The Franklin Reporter is EVERYWHERE!”

Thank you !
