HISTORY OF THE FRANKLIN INN
Henry and Sue Cibula purchased the Inn in 1978. In 1980 a family decision was made to
specialize in Mexican food. Over the years the Cibulas have traveled to Mexico, learning from
Mexican cooks and restaurants.
The Franklin Inn is currently owned and managed by John and Wendy
Cibula (Henry and Sue Cibula's son and his wife) with a dedicated staff of
26. They strive to create a warm and friendly atmosphere where customers
can relax and enjoy themselves. John insists that only the best ingredients
are used in the Inn's homemade soups, entrees, and desserts. The Inn has
received many accolades and votes in various reader popularity polls. However,
the familiar faces of Franklin Inn patrons and the longevity of the restaurant are proof
positive of the commitment to quality food in a great setting!
Thank you for choosing the Franklin Inn Mexican Restaurant.
Enjoy your meal.
Muchas Gracias from the Cibula Family!!!
