The conversation will begin at 5:30pm, followed by a Q&A. Small Bites and Aperitifs will be available for purchase. This event is free and open to the public.
THE FACTORY
Get a head start on your holiday gift list by visiting Alabama Chanin’s Holiday Shop to find the perfect gifts. Brand new Essentials and Basics have recently been added to our store at The Factory—along with the newest hand-sewn collection. We invite you to explore all we have to offer, as you make your wish list for the holidays.
We’ll be open for “Black Friday” and Small Business Saturday. Stop by with your family and friends for Friday lunch, Saturday Brunch, shopping, and savings. Shop local this holiday season.
Join us for each week day for lunch with a rotating menu of savory dishes served with side salad and vegetables. And stay for our free, guided tours each weekday at 2:00pm where you’ll learn about the history of the company and our sustainable manufacturing practices. View our Daily Menu here.
Be sure to also join us for Saturday Brunch featuring farm-fresh eggs, freshly-baked biscuits, mimosas, and our own blend of The Factory coffee.
The Factory also offers extended hours on Thursdays and Fridays until 7:00pm. Stop by for shopping, a cheese plate or a selection of homemade dips, and a glass of wine or beer with friends. Our complete wine and beer list is available here, at the bottom of the page.
We make freshly-baked whole cakes for any occasion. Please provide 24 hours’ notice when placing an order. Call +1.256.760.1090 and ask for the café to place your order.
