"The Franklin Oyster Bar & Eatery, or the Franklin, is aiming to open by the end of the year. Jay Farner, managing partner of Ronin Capital Partners, is transforming the space at 32760 Franklin Road into this new venue. The venue will include a shared back patio with an adjoining property at 32750 Franklin, which will become a cafe offering grab-and-go items. The restaurant is an homage to the oyster suppers common among early settlers from New England. Executive chef Nick Geftos will helm the kitchen." - Serena Maria Daniels
