Discover Yonder: A Hidden Gem in Franklin, North Carolina
Nestled in the picturesque town of Franklin, North Carolina, Yonder stands out as a true hidden wonder, reflecting the area's charm and community spirit. Hanna and Alan established Yonder as a popular breakfast spot where locals cherish traditional dishes. Before the pandemic, this inviting café was renowned for its mouthwatering breakfast offerings, including fluffy pancakes, waffles drizzled in maple syrup, classic eggs, and crispy bacon—all enjoyed in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
When the covid pandemic hit the world, Yonder didn't just survive; it thrived. Hanna and Alan, the resilient owners, quickly transformed Yonder into a pickup grocery store, navigating the challenges with grace and determination. This adaptability not only allowed Yonder to continue serving the community but also led to an expansion of its offerings, including a new location for fresh, seasonal farm goods.
Thanks to Kristie and Rashaune of Vignette Realty, Yonder found its new home in one of the charming circles next to Smart Pharmacy in Franklin. Vignette Realty has long supported Yonder, even sponsoring numerous summer music festivals at the venue, strengthening the bond between these local businesses.
