Our Story

When the opportunity presented itself to transform an old, run-down corner liquor store into something we had always dreamed of, we jumped on it.

 

Franklin Cellars opened its door during the hardest-hit months of COVID-19. In face of all the challenges, we worked hard to make Franklin Cellars what we want it to be: quality, thoughtful, and inviting.

 

From Japan to Brooklyn, from Chile to France; for birthdays and dinner parties, for rainy days and afternoons in the park; for rosé lovers and tequila diehards, for the wine connoisseurs and budding enthusiasts alike—we offer you our best: a hand-picked selection of small-batch wines, spirits, sakes, and ciders from around the world. Almost every bottle we carry is natural, organic, biodynamic, or sustainable. As a Black-owned business, we also proudly carry Black-owned wines and feature them prominently in our store.
