Check Out Your NEW + Improved Shopping Experience

New Software: Quick Tips

  • No need to open a basket or cart--simply start shopping and add products to your cart.
  • Mobile + tablet friendly
  • Your pick-up location carries over from the previous cycle--change the location at any time while the shopping window is open (change by clicking the cart icon, then use the drop-down menu to change location)
  • An improved product search allows you to quickly find your favorite items and discover new ones!
  • New product ‘varieties’ allow you to choose flavors and types quickly and easily (like sliced bread or style of coffee grind).
  • Want to request a customized item? Such as ‘no cinnamon’ in your apple pie? Simply leave a ‘Shopper Note’ from your cart. If the producer is not able to accommodate your request, they can ‘deny’ the note and you can either remove the item from your cart or accept it, uncustomized.
  • On-site purchasing at Franklin: Your on-site purchases will now be associated with your member account so you’ll be able to view past purchases.
