Fran's Flowers, a family-owned and run business, is located outdoors at 1 Worcester Road (Shoppers World) in Framingham. Fran and his crew are gearing up for a great holiday season with all the greenery and trees you love! Fran's is also a Certified Proven Winners Garden Center, with hundreds of Proven Winners and Proven Selections as well as plants from other local greenhouses and farms during the warmer weather. In season, Fran also features native produce, including sweet corn from Cucurbit Farms in Acton. Any time of year is a great time to stop by and say hello to Fran!

At Lola's Italian Kitchen & Market, family recipes are passed down from generation to generation, with roots tracing back to Southern Italy. Originally an Italian groceria created by Lola Matarazzo, the store was later purchased by her brother Anthony, who has expanded it into much more than a groceria. Anthony used his parents' recipes to create an expansive menu of sandwiches, take-home meals (individual and group-sized), catering, and more. The restaurant is a staple in downtown Natick and as Anthony would say, everything is #NoniApproved.
