The Franklin Shops

Absolutely amazing spot. I will drive there to just walk away and admire the new pieces even once a week all the way from Venice. It is a full few hours of relaxation and truly if you need a gift or you would like to gift yourself there in NO OTGER SPOT LIKE IT in the area. This place is a collaboration of small store fronts of various local artists. It is very tastefully laid out inside, everything from the shelving in the store to the stairways and the very high ceilings makes this space simply awesome. It feels fresh, modern, upbeat but of course the absolutely most important thing is the merchandise and the atmosphere of the site/ gallery. The artists who showcase their products here are super talented and the one thing that links it all together is affordability ❤. You can walk down St Armand’s circle and be like - well I cannot afford a thing here; you can do that downtown Sarasota or St Pets or even Venice…
I have been to hundreds of those little stores and galleries through the South West FL and I never buy anything simply because a pair of silly earrings may be listed at $300.00 but here it is different.
You can buy very affordable but amazing pieces it is just heaven for Artsy souls. I highly highly recommend this array of stores / galleries under one roof called the Franklin Shops in Firt Myers.

This is a fun place seamlessly broken into multiple sections of offerings from a wide variety of artists. It is a celebration of art the varies from clothing and jewelry to wall hangings, sculptures, lawn art and many, many more things. It tastes good some time to explore all the nooks and crannies of the place.

Amazing! Love the environment, all of the employees are really friendly and helpful with anything you need! The variety of shops in here are amazing!

Very cool store hosting a wide, crazy and eclectic array of clothes, prints, statues, decor, soaps, bathbombs, & toiletries, shoes, and a whole lot more.

"90 Shops under one roof" Two floors full of fun and funkiness. Even if you do not make a purchase, walking around the store is a lot of fun.

Located on First Street in historic downtown Fort Myers, an incredible neighborhood of local shops and restaurants. Great place to spend a day.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Some of the vendors may be there tending to their merchandise, this is a rare treat to get some interaction with local craftsmen and artists. Definitely a fun time, and a new regular stop when we are in Fort Myers.

So many fun things to look at. And there is boba on the second floor!!!

Girlfriend's shopping, what a great place! We had so much fun and love everything they have. Shopped here for a long while and came away with some great finds. Friendly staff.

I love to visit The Franklin Shops when I visit Ft. Myers. I have been coming for years and I always look forward to the new pieces of jewelry, clothing, and artwork on display. This is a great place to buy a unique gift or something special for yourself. Plan on spending a few hours just looking around. There are so many things to see - make sure you go upstairs as well!

Whenever me and my family goes to downtown we always go to this place to shop. It is such a good place to stop and take a look and maybe buy something from here. And nice boba shop upstairs is such a good place to get drinks. Really good shop!

Beautiful, tidy and well presented boutique shops. Somethings for everyone from cosmetics, Jewellery, clothes and art. Will bring friends and family here due to the great service.

One of the coolest stores in Fort Myers. This unique spot has over 90 vendors that offer an array of clothing, jewelry, and art. I’ve seen stores like this before, but for some reason, they do it the best!
