Husband-and-Wife Duo Bring Color Me Mine Studio to Franklin
Color Me Mine Franklin is owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Chris and Ana Dutton, who both grew up in entrepreneurial families. Chris was raised around his family's photography studio and discovered his entrepreneurial spirit early, launching his own production company at just 16 years old. He later built his career in marketing within the boat manufacturing industry. Ana grew up in a family that owned and operated hotels, restaurants and an airline, where she developed a deep appreciation for hospitality and creating memorable experiences. She went on to build a successful career in corporate finance and accounting. Now, they're bringing together Chris creativity and entrepreneurial spirit with Ana's business experience and passion for hospitality to create something special for the Franklin community.
"After years in the corporate world, we were ready to build something that was truly ours," said Ana Dutton. "Franklin is such a family-oriented community, and we wanted to give families and friends a place to unplug, have fun and create something special together. Color Me Mine was the perfect fit, and we can't wait to see all the memories made here."
