A Trophy Business

A Trophy Business is a courier service in Franklin, IN. The shop operates as a FedEx Authorized ShipCenter, handling domestic and international shipping, packaging, and drop-off solutions, while also offering printing and faxing services. Beyond shipping, the business serves customers needing trophies, plaques, glass awards, crystal awards, acrylic awards, resin awards, clocks, medals, ribbons, and custom apparel through direct-to-garment printing, embroidery, screen-printed vinyl, and laser engraving on wood, metal, glass, and other materials. Post office box rentals, address stamps, and business cards round out the service list.

The business was started in 2005 by founder John Thompson, a lifelong Franklin resident who first began making trophies for his son's racing series out of his living room. In 2007, the venture acquired a local trophy shop and moved into a bricks-and-mortar location. Co-founder Teri Bair, a Franklin resident since 1983, helped build the business alongside Thompson, bringing experience from manufacturing, firefighting, and nursing. Together they expanded the original trophy, plaque, and engraving work into the broader customization and shipping operation the shop runs today.

The shop is located at 249 East Jefferson Street in downtown Franklin. It sits about 0.1 miles from East Jefferson Street and roughly a quarter mile from both the Johnson County Government East Annex and Franklin City Hall, with a train car monument, street art, and a war monument all within a short walk.

A Trophy Business holds a 4.4 rating. With deep roots in Franklin's community organizations and two decades of operation, the shop pairs FedEx shipping with hands-on trophy and engraving work in the heart of downtown Franklin.
