It’s all about the company you keep, and here at Jack’s Abby, we’re proud to share a space with a company that once shaped Framingham’s history.
Our Marketing Team recently visited the Framingham Historical Society to learn more about the history of 100 Clinton Street, our current home and the old home of the Dennison Factory.

The Dennison Manufacturing Company, a historic pioneer in paper products, established itself in Framingham in 1897. From crafting labels and crepe paper to innovative tagging solutions, Dennison was not only a leader in technological advancements but also placed a strong emphasis on employee satisfaction and retention—values we proudly uphold here at Jack’s.
The parallels between Jack’s Abby and the historic Dennison Factory are quite striking—both rooted in innovation, craftsmanship, and a deep commitment to quality. Just as Dennison revolutionized paper products while prioritizing its workforce, we take pride in pushing the boundaries of brewing while fostering a strong, dedicated team.
The Dennison Manufacturing Company once spanned multiple buildings across Bishop Street, Grant Street, and Howard Street, with our building housing THERIMAGE, also known as Heat Transfer Labeling. While Jack’s doesn’t use heat transfer labeling, we continue the tradition of on-site labeling right here in the same space—now through our own packaging line.
Discovering the many similarities between the Dennison Factory and Jack’s made our team even more eager to explore the history of the building we proudly call home.
