After 61 years, a downtown Franklin staple is closing, making room for a new business to move into an in-demand area.
Friday will be the final day Smallwood Appliances, located at 27 W. Monroe St., will be open for business.

And with the recent resurgence in interest in downtown Franklin, finding a new business to move in likely won’t be difficult.
