ABOUT US

We’re Phil and Heather Joel, the co-owners of The Green Room, nestled in the heart of downtown Franklin, Tennessee. With a combined background in music, television & theatre we’ve spent more than our fair share of time in backstage green rooms! But two years ago, we traded in our backstage passes for the exciting adventure of opening The Green Room — a home and gifts store that’s as unique as the community we love.

As locals to Franklin for 30 years, we’ve always had a deep love for this beautiful little town, and opening our store was a creative way of further deepening our roots in this place that’s given us so much. We may not have had retail experience when we started, but after two years, we’ve certainly had a crash course and are loving every minute of this new adventure!

At The Green Room, we believe in the power of shopping consciously. Because we’re not just here to create a beautiful space—we’re here to support our planet and our community. It’s all about finding joy in things that are good for both people and the world around us.

Thank you for supporting us on this journey. Whether you're stopping by for a gift, a home treasure, or just a friendly hello, we’re so grateful to have you in our Green Room family!
