Franklin Gear began as a trade name of BY1, LLC. In September of 2018 a line of Franklin-themed apparel & accessories launched at The Franklin Studio and online at www.franklingearnh.com.  Its goal - to bolster community spirit and draw attention to Franklin's revitalization and the community's relentless drive.

Since its inception, Franklin Gear was about giving back to the community.  Over $3000 worth of Franklin Gear have been donated in the last two years so that, no matter your situation, all members of the community can feel involved.

But community involvement is more than slogans and SWAG. So now we are changing gears!
On March 1st, 2021 the tradename Franklin Gear was spun-off to form a
​new non-profit corporation -
Franklin Gear, Inc. - A Makerspace!
