Franklin Fixtures unveils major expansion

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — Franklin Fixtures celebrated an exciting milestone this week with the ribbon cutting for its new 28,000-square-foot warehouse and facilities expansion, bringing the our total footprint to over 90,000 square feet here in Cookeville, Tennessee.

Originally opened in 1974, Franklin Fixtures produces retail display fixtures for bookstores, libraries and retailers nationwide. The company is currently headquartered in Cookeville, Tennessee, where owners Dave and Lisa Uhrik relocated the production and warehouse facilities in 2015. 

"This growth represents more than added space," the company said in a Facebook post. "It reflects the trust of our customers, the dedication of our team, and our continued commitment to crafting high-quality retail display fixtures for bookstores, libraries, and retailers across the country."

In addition to the manufacturing and warehousing expansion, the company opened an employee Wellness Room, offering on-site clinic and counseling services as a company-paid benefit.
