We had our conversation via conference bridge to adhere to the social distancing requirements of this pandemic period.\n\nWe talk about how Bonnie and her husband Mark have spent many years developing the market which will open in the near future here in Franklin. They will be located in the Liquor World Plaza, in the space where the Shiva Market had been.\n\nWe talk about the timeline how they came to bring this to reality. How they used the Market Study developed by MAPC for Franklin to confirm three was an opportunity here. \n\nBy way of disclosure: I did purchase a brick on their wall to help share the Franklin Matters Name. I did also contribute as an investor in their venture. We talk about this and how they will be part of the community in bringing a \u2018farm to table\u2019 approach to grab and go meals.\n\nWhile I do believe in what they are doing, this radio program is part of my overall effort to share newsworthy goodness in Franklin. This happens to be a very good example of the stories I think are newsworthy.\n\nOur conversation runs about 35 minutes, so let\u2019s listen in.\n \n--------------\nFollow Fresh Start Market on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/FreshStartMkt/ \nOn Instagram https://www.instagram.com/fresh_start.market/ \n\nTheir investment opportunity page on MainVest https://mainvest.com/b/fresh-start-market-franklin \n`\nEDC Meeting with the MAPC Market Study presented and discussed\nhttps://www.franklinmatters.org/2020/08/fm-322-edc-mapc-market-study-73030-audio.html\n\n--------------\nWe are now producing this in collaboration with Franklin.TV and Franklin Public Radio (wfpr.fm) or 102.9 on the Franklin area radio dial. \n\nThis podcast is my public service effort for Franklin but we can't do it alone.
