In the late 1920's, Franco Novelty Co. was founded in Montgomery, Alabama as an amusement games operating company. As the company grew, an amusement games distributing company was added, Franco Distributing Co.

In 1964, the principals of Franco Distributing Co. bought Robinson Distributing Co. located in Atlanta, Georgia on Edgewood Avenue. They changed the name of this company to Greater Southern to reflect a more regional identity. Eleven years later the company moved to its location on Marietta Boulevard, where they remained until October, 2001. It was during this period Greater Southern expanded its product line to include vending machines. After experiencing growing pains for several years, Greater Southern moved to Smyrna, GA in October, 2001.

Greater Southern expanded again in 2006 by purchasing Atlantic Billiards. Currently, Greater Southern operates 2 stores in the Atlanta area, and services most nearby cities and towns including Destin, FL, Highlands, NC, Myrtle Beach, SC, Columbus, GA, and Montgomery, AL.
