Chamber Checks Gift Certificate Program

The Chamber of Commerce is  offering a Gift Certificate program called Chamber Checks.  It is a replacement for the previous program known as Certifichecks and is totally administered by the Franklin-Simpson Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber Checks program works like a gift certificate.  An individual purchases the certificate from the Chamber.  The recipient can then use the certificate like cash at any Chamber participating merchant in Franklin.  It is a great program to encourage our community to spend their money in Franklin.  At the time of purchase, a complete list of participating merchants is included with the gift certificate.

Any Chamber merchant interested in participating in the program or anyone interested in purchasing the certificates may contact the Chamber.

Warning: Map Scam
The Chamber of Commerce has received several phone calls from members regarding Hometown Productions’ solicitation of advertisements for a new city and county map.  This company claims to be working with the Chamber, the City and the police department.  This is a scam!  This company may also use the name Premier Maps.  The BBB is aware of this company and has had many complaints on them in the past. This is a scam that has been run under several different company names. The Chamber of Commerce is the only one that produces a map for Simpson County and we will inform you before we begin our map sales through the Chamber and local media.
