Franklin Billiard Company was started in 1991 by Jeff and Darla Preiss. Previously Jeff had worked as a pool table mechanic, for a St. Louis retailer and then as an independent contractor for ten years. The store was opened with the idea that customers would receive more personal attention from a smaller retailer than a large box store.
As a mechanic with 30 years experience, Jeff knows table construction of almost all manufacturers from both the past and the present. In a time in which many pool tables are imported from overseas and use pressed wood products for construction it is important to know from what a product is made. Franklin Billiard Company does not sell any tables which uses pressed wood in the table’s frame. We strive not to offer the cheapest made table, but a quality table at the most competitive price possible.
Every pool table Franklin Billiard Company sells is delivered and installed by the owner. Every other company in St. Louis either uses employees or subcontracted labor for its services.
We also carry games tables, including Tornado foosball and Super Chexx Bubble Hockey, Championship Shuffleboard, Kettler Ping Pong, and Dynamo Air Hockey. Franklin Billiard Company also is a select store among dart league players for dartboards and high-quality tungsten darts in both soft-and steel-tip.
Our normal service area includes St. Louis, Franklin, St. Charles, and Jefferson counties; however we serve customers on both sides of the river in both Missouri and Illinois.

What Our Customers Say About Franklin Billiard Company
Purchased a table tennis (ping pong) top for our billiard table. Table plus premium net & 4 player set. Very nice product, thick & stable, german made (US made not available anywhere - I checked), very competitive price, better than many competitors, even on-line. That was without the extra discount received for being repeat customer.
Comments:
Delivered and set it up quick and easy. Had also purchased the AMF billiard table from Franklin a few years ago (made in southern MO). Beautiful table made to our specs in color for wood and felt and way below anything similar offered by anyone else. Slate top. Also very professional delivery and set up, even with very uneven basement floor and space challenges. Can't recommend highly enough.
Reviews Direct from Customers
Thanks again for all your help, without even making a sale. You have better customer service than I've experience in essentially any other arena, and I wasn't even really a customer. That's why I'm back when it comes to my next potential purchase.
