There was also one downtown and one on Murfreesboro Rd. The problem was that around 1992 or 1993 (?damn, I'm getting old) they changed ownership. The new franchisers would never clean the stores, never restock the merchandise and basically ran a shoddy operation. Eventually all the local stores shut down. Then another family took over the Murfreesboro Rd. location and did a good job. But they had such a hard time building the business back up because people still had the negative associaton that they eventually closed that store as well. That was maybe 2 years ago. I think enough time has passed in the collective Nashville memory to enable people to enjoy DD again without the crap association from the old owners. I'm sure once the Franklin store makes a good showing he'll go back to the college neighborhood at least.
