Fork Of The South General Store

This is a cute little shop inside the factory. This shop has a wide variety of things, such as coffee, jams, candy, toys, soap, shirts, seasonal things, basically a little gift shop. They also have a milk shake and food bar/stand inside too. The owner is really nice and she always greets me every time I stop by. Some of my favorite things here are the world smallest toys, the soaps, and scratch and sniff stickers. Reminds me of when I was a kid in elementary school all over again I've never tried their food, ice cream, or milkshakes before but plan on it next time. If you're ever in the area, this is definitely a place to stop by.

this is the best locally-owned shop with great gifts. The new space in Building 8 is spacious and fun to shop. The new milkshake bar and tea room are adorable too.

Amazing place, they have everything! My go to place for gifts and now ice cream. And a new tea house!

Super cute shop. We were excited to check out the waffles based on another Yelp review but they've changed their menu. We weren't in a shake or ice cream kind of mood so we didn't order anything but maybe next time.

3.5 (More to Come?)Filled with nostalgic memories for some (sadly, those folks are dwindling), quaint appearance to others, and kitschy Cracker-Barrel "mirror of sorts" (no disrespect intended) to a few more are the likely range of impressions for people who find this somewhat hidden corner just off the "center square" of the Factory at Franklin might have.To me, personally, stepping into this contemporary version of a pseudo time machine did bring back memories of growing up. You see, a real-life country store isn't just a set in a movie, it was where I lived the first few years of my life. And Fork of the South does bear some semblance of familiarity with my grandma's 1940s-1950s country store, although my Gram's store was a bit smaller.The walls in FotS are lined with shelves of candy, knick-knacks, souvenirs (actually, my Gram's store didn't have those oddities). But she did sell penny candy similar to the kind you'll find (along one wall of FotS) Remember those stick taffy Mary Janes filled with peanut butter? And my Gram did sell sandwiches, sodas, and ice cream. Same here!We almost missed this little shop save for the small chalkboard in the hallway adjacent to 5 Daughters amazing bakery. You can see by the photos I've included today that there is a wealth of crafts, tasty treats, oddities (Coca-Cola Tic Tacks?) and other items for sale.Since we had already eaten lunch, we did not check out the "deli" offerings. However, their menu lists, sweet and savory waffles topped with everything from eggs to Oreos. And there are other sweet or savory bites as well....plus marvelous-sounding milkshakes. (Be sure to check out the menu pic.) I am sure we'll do the same - with an appropriate taste test on our next visit.Thanks for sparking some fond memories, Fork of the South.

This store has the most amazing selection of exquisite items for every single person you love. I personally love the decor, jewelry, stationery and vinyl sticker selection! The food hall has delectable gourmet milkshakes and homemade ice cream. I can't wait to go back when the candy martini bar opens. I give this woman owned and operated small business 1000 out of 5 stars.

Amazing store & experience! There is a little bit of something for everyone and the number on spot for all things southern and collegiate. Our whole family LOVES FOTS

Great staff, great shopping experience, one-of-kind gifts. Absolutely love the owner!
