Located downtown in Fort Myers, The Franklin Shops are a shopping paradise you didn’t even know existed! (Or maybe you did, I don’t know what goes on inside your brain.)

Boasting over 90+ different stores, the Franklin Shops are a large retail co-op filled to the brim with art, gifts, and more!

The bottom floor of the store is packed full of clothing, art, gifts, jewelry, candles, and so much more. It’s hard just keeping track of all that’s offered, there’s so much!

Hidden in the back behind the main staircase, you’ll find a clothing boutique that fits all your summer fit needs! They’ve got new stuff coming in all the time, so make sure to pop in weekly to see what’s new!

Upstairs has to be my favorite section. You can find crystals, statues, and tons of custom art of here that are jaw dropping to look at!

There are several different artists displayed here, so you’ll definitely find one that suits your interests.

I’ll highlight some of my favorites!

I really loved the art style that Saige lenzmeier brings to her “Ass Face Art” (her name, I’m not insulting her art I promise!) Many of her pieces are available here, so come check them out!

If you’re looking for art that speaks to the soul of Florida, check out Nikki Taylor’s art! Featuring artwork of both Florida wildlife and nature, it’s sure to bring a little bit of Florida home with you!

Another one of my favorites, The Little Cottage of Content carries my favorite genre of items; oddities and curiosities! Check out their awesome jewelry and decor pieces to add some unique mystic to your home.

You’ll see Jeff Ocasio‘s art all over the second floor, and for good reason! These gorgeous works of art are so varied and unique that you’ll find one that speaks to you in no time!

His art comes in many different sizes, so whether you’re looking for desk companion or a show stopper piece for your living room, you’ll find the one you need!

The Franklin Shops is more than a place to buy gifts and fun things, but such a wonderful experience into the mind of 90+ sellers. I really appreciate a spot where I’m able to shop local, and it’s such spot to experience!

If you’re in Fort Myers looking to get some shopping down, you’ll will do major financial damage at the Franklin Shops!
