Our Story

36 Years of Honest Work.

Franklin Fixtures, Inc. was built on trust — one food service operator at a time.

How It All Started

Franklin Fixtures, Inc. opened its doors in 1997 when Scott and Belinda Franklin purchased a building at 223 St. Andrews Avenue in Edwardsville, Illinois. Nearly 30 years later, that same building is still home base. Some things don't need to change.

From day one, the approach has been simple: be honest, know your stuff, and treat people right. No overselling, no runaround, no sending someone home with equipment that isn't right for their operation. Word spread, and the business grew — one food service operator at a time.

Over the years, Franklin Fixtures has worked with Domino's corporate, Steak 'n Shake locations nationwide, and plenty of other well-known names. But the customers we're most proud of are the mom-and-pop restaurants, bars, food trucks, and caterers who found us through word of mouth and kept coming back for decades. Those relationships are what built this business — and they're still what drives it.

With over 50,000 pieces of equipment sold and thousands of food service operations served across Illinois, Missouri, and beyond, Franklin Fixtures, Inc. is still the same family business it's always been. Scott's daughter is stepping in to carry it forward — same values, same straight talk, same commitment to getting it right.
