A Tennessee native, Andy Marshall grew up in the grocery business. At age 26, he purchased his first grocery store – an investment that quickly led to four additional locations, and his being named president of the Tennessee Grocers Association and the Piggly Wiggly Association. In 1998, Marshall sold those stores and bought Puckett’s, a small grocery store in the village of Leiper’s Fork. He launched a formal dinner and music program to enhance the shop and complement the town’s roots.
Marshall now owns several restaurants: Puckett's Grocery and Restaurant with locations in Nashville, Franklin, Columbia and Chattanooga; Homestead Manor, a farm-to-table restaurant and bar, garden and event barn; and Puckett's Boat House.
In both 2014 and 2015, A. Marshall Foods was recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. The company was also was awarded the Nashville Business Journal’s Best in Business award in 2015. In addition to keeping up with his restaurants, Marshall finds time to be involved with his community. He was the president of the Downtown Franklin Association for four years and an executive board member of the Heritage Foundation of Franklin & Williamson County.
He currently serves as the vice president of the Franklin Theatre and is on the board of the Williamson County Chamber of Commerce. He is also involved in the Franklin High Culinary Arts Program as the culinary advisor. The Puckett’s family of restaurants are all members of the statewide Tennessee Hospitality and Tourism Association, and Marshall sits on its board and is a member of its Education Scholarship Committee.
Marshall has also won several professional awards including Nashville Business Journal’s 2014 and 2015 Williamson County Impact Award, Small Business of the Year in Hopkinsville for two years in a row, and the National Spirit of America Award for Entrepreneurship.
