The Smith County Chamber of Commerce welcomes new member, Jane Reed’s Pleasant Shade Store & Café. Pictured are owner Franklin Grandstaff and Chamber Director, Bill Woodard. Franklin Grandstaff has worked in the restaurant business for several years and has enjoyed much success in running restaurants for other people. He has always dreamed of owning his own restaurant.
One day while in the Pleasant Shade area, Mr. Grandstaff saw that the store building was available. More thoughts came to his mind of owning his own restaurant and eventually that led to him to inquire about building with the realtor. He and his wife, Francis, had the opportunity to tour the property and fell in love with it. They opened Jane Reed’s Pleasant Shade Store & Café on December 12, 2018 as a meat & 3 establishment. The Grandstaff love the Pleasant Shade community and enjoy meeting new customers. They invite everyone to come be their guest!
