Flower Child is now open at Southside at McEwen in Franklin. This is the first Tennessee location for the well-known and quickly growing full-kitchen, fast-casual restaurant, and from eleven-time James Beard nominated restaurateur Sam Fox. The new 3,703 SF establishment is located at the Southside at McEwen shopping center at 1560 W. McEwen Drive.

“The wait is finally over, and we are beyond excited to open the doors of Flower Child in Franklin,” said Fox Restaurant Concepts (FRC) Founder Sam Fox. “Flower Child has become a favorite among our restaurants, and we are so happy to open our first Tennessee location. We can’t wait to welcome in our new friends and neighbors for a healthy, delicious, and uplifting dining experience.”

Welcoming guests from the moment they arrive, the restaurant’s signature hand-painted lemon mural anchors the exterior. Bursting with brightness and life, the lemons symbolize the freshness and healthfulness that define Flower Child’s food and team. It’s a cheerful beacon that sets the tone for the vibrant experience within.

With its commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients, warm hospitality, and a feel-good atmosphere, Flower Child has gained a devoted following across the country. The menu features a variety of customizable bowls, wraps, salads, and mix-and-match veggies, grains, fruits, and proteins, making clean eating both convenient and crave-worthy. Whether guests are vegetarian, vegan, paleo, gluten-free, or simply looking for a nourishing meal, Flower Child offers an inviting and flavorful dining experience for all.

At Flower Child, art is more than decoration – it’s a celebration of goodness, intention, and the unique spirit of each community it serves. For the Franklin, Tennessee, location, the exterior and interior are both curated art installations that reflect the vitality of Flower Child’s food, the joy of its people, and the charm of Franklin itself.
Inside, the art experience deepens. FRC’s talented graphic designer, Gracie Lott, led the curation and creation of the interior artwork. Her vision pays homage to Franklin’s rich history while adding original, uplifting touches that are uniquely Flower Child.

One standout series is a collection of food-inspired postage stamp prints, each designed and illustrated by Gracie. Custom-framed with thoughtfully paired patterns and colors, the series is both playful and nostalgic. Those looking closely will find subtle tributes to Benjamin Franklin, honoring his legacy in printing and namesake connection to the town.

Flower Child is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with dine-in and patio dining along with a robust catering program. Additionally, guests can place to-go orders for pick-up, opt for curbside pick-up, or delivery. To enhance convenience, there is also a Flower Child app available, allowing guests to have a seamless ordering experience while earning exclusive rewards.
