Bindas Lane Alpacas and Gifts in Franklin has expanded by opening Bindas Bridal inside its Liberty Street location. The new bridal store offers a range of formal dresses, including bridal, prom, mother-of-the-bride, and flower girl gowns. Owner Diane Bindas acquired the inventory from a closed bridal shop in Hermitage. While the store still carries some non-bridal clothing, most was donated to Atlantic Avenue United Brethren Church for a new clothing closet opening in April. Bindas also continues to operate a toy shop next door, originally called Little Kiddies Toys and Treats. She decided to launch the bridal store after successfully selling bridal dresses last year.
