Flower Child, a full-kitchen, fast-casual restaurant from eleven-time James Beard nominated restaurateur Sam Fox, will open its first Tennessee location in Franklin this summer.
Part of Phoenix-based restaurant group Fox Restaurant Concepts, Flower Child joins Fox’s other Tennessee concepts including The Twelve Thirty Club, The Henry, Pushing Daisies, Doughbird, and Blanco Cocina + Cantina.
“The Nashville area has been such a welcoming community for our restaurants, including our newly opened The Henry, and we can’t wait to introduce Flower Child, one of our most popular culinary destinations,” says Sam Fox. “We have been looking for the right location to open our first restaurant in Franklin for quite some time and are thrilled to have found the perfect spot for Flower Child.”
Flower Child will open this summer at Southside at McEwen. Known as a place where you can fill your soul (and belly) with goodness, Flower Child’s menu caters to all lifestyles, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and more. The opening of the Franklin restaurant will mark Flower Child’s forty-second location in fifteen states.
The new spot will offer a wide range of made-from-scratch, customizable bowls, wraps, salads, and mix-and-match veggies, grains, fruits, and healthy proteins, offering convenient, clean eating.
The customizable menu features fan-favorite dishes coupled with feel-good indulgences like the Mother Earth Bowl with ancient grains, sweet potato, portobello mushroom, avocado, cucumber, broccoli pesto, charred onion, leafy greens, red pepper miso vinaigrette, and hemp seed, the Gluten-Free Mac & Cheese with aged white cheddar and parmesan, and more.
Fox is currently renovating a 3,703-square-foot restaurant, plus patio space, to create a unique-to-Tennessee version of Flower Child. Flower Child will be open for lunch and dinner seven days a week. They will have 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.
