“We joined the Franklin Chamber soon after opening Middle Davids Candles here in 2009. Throughout that time, the Chamber has become a real pillar of the Franklin community. Anytime I need information or a referral to a specific type of business, my first call is to Anya or Rosie, and I know I’ll get a quick and informative response. We love the personal touch and how they work constantly to build connections within our community but also with the greater Indianapolis area. They are our Small Business Saturday champions!”
