The Roxy

The Roxy Theater originally opened in downtown Franklin during the summer of 1938. For the next two decades the Roxy was operated as a movie theater with over 800 seats. By the mid 1960s the Roxy Theater Building entered into the second stage of it's life when it was converted into municipal office space. Now, over seventy years after it originally opened, the Old Roxy is once again entering into a new and exciting stage of life.

Our future plans involve turning the Old Roxy Theater into a multi-use building with a combination of office, retail, and entertainment space. The goal is to preserve and restore as much of the original decor and fixtures as we can while making sure the Old Roxy can become a viable and sustainable living building and an active part of the Franklin-Simpson community for years to come.

We would love to hear from anyone out there who has any memorabilia from the Roxy in it's heyday, or just a great story involving it. Please feel free to contact us at the email address listed below.
