In 2004, another opportunity was presented to Marshall: to expand Puckett’s to his hometown and beloved community of Historic Downtown Franklin. With bustling, historic, small-town charm, Marshall tailored the new space to be more of a restaurant and live music venue.
“It is a real joy to have created my first design for Puckett’s in Franklin. It is an honor to be a part of such a terrific community,” Marshall says.
In 2007, Puckett’s Grocery, along with Keith Mohr, partnered to create a unique local music contest called Puckett’s Rising Star—a seven-week contest featuring up to 20 local singer/songwriters. The winner of the competition takes home a $500 cash stipend, and a chance to be featured in an upcoming Winner’s Round with other established and well-known songwriters.
“There is so much talent in this area. We at Puckett’s are proud to showcase some of Nashville’s best undiscovered songwriters who could soon become a rising star,” Marshall says.
Several years and many accolades later, people just can’t seem to get enough of Puckett’s. From the food and music to the authentic atmosphere, there’s something about Puckett’s that keeps the locals coming back.
Puckett’s in Franklin has received numerous awards including many Williamson County’s Sizzle Awards for Best Burger, Best Meat and Three, Best Value, Best Service, Best Caterer, Best Live Entertainment, and Best Value. It has also been voted “Best Restaurant Worth the Drive,” and “Top 100 Restaurants,” in the critics’ publication-Where The Locals Eat. Rand McNally awarded Puckett’s the “Must Visit Restaurants While Traveling Award,” in its Top 100 Restaurants publication.
