A. Marshall Family Foods Inc. raised thousands of dollars for the Heritage Foundation of Franklin & Williamson County through events hosted by two of its downtown Franklin restaurants in 2014, the restaurant group revealed earlier this month.
Owner Andy Marshall and his team will present a sizable check to Heritage Foundation staff and volunteers on Tuesday, Jan. 13 at 2 p.m. at Puckett’s Boat House at 94 E. Main Street.
In December, friends and customers of Puckett’s Gro. & Restaurant were invited to celebrate 10 years in Franklin, with a special night of throwback menu items, live music performances—and a roast of Marshall. The lively evening packed the house, and garnered several additional gifts for the Heritage Foundation’s work in restoring the Old, Old Jail.
In addition, the Foundation will receive proceeds from the Puckett’s Boat House “Puckett’s Dollar For Your Thoughts” 2014 initiative that generated dollars from money pinned to the restaurant’s low ceiling. Over the past year, the Southern seafood eatery provided each table with buckets of tape and markers, and encourage customers to stick dollar bills—with their own custom messages—to the building’s structure in the name of the Foundation.
A. Marshall Family Foods Inc. is a Franklin-based company with seven family-owned restaurant and hospitality businesses within Middle Tennessee. Andy Marshall is a Heritage Foundation board member, and wife Jan Marshall is a executive committee member of the Downtown Franklin Association.
