Shopping
People from all over the country come to the Smoky Mountains to
take advantage of the shopping bargains that can be found in the
Smoky Mountains. Shopping has replaced crafts as the second
biggest reason families come to the Smokies on vacation with The
Great Smoky Mountains National Park still holding the number one
spot. No matter what your shopping needs may be, shopping malls,
discount shops, country craft shops and factory outlet stores are
plentiful in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville.
Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, famous for outlet shopping, offer
incredible prices on name brand merchandise at our factory outlet
stores. In fact, we have over 200 of these famous brand outlets,
like J. Crew, Pfaltzgraff, Nike, Black & Decker, Anne Klein,
Reebok, Polo/Ralph Lauren and Banana Republic. You'll also find
every day savings of 20% to 75% off retail prices on names like
Lenox, Oshkosh B'Gosh, Mikasa, Samsonite, Springmaid-Wamsutta,
and Tommy Hilfiger. You'll find everything you're looking for from
jewelry to clothing for the entire family to home furnishings and
electronics. Plan to come during the World's Largest Outlet Sale
in January and Winter Savings Fest in February and you'll save
even more.
Besides the outlet malls, there are large antique malls as well
as quaint little antique shops, dozens of country craft shops, art
galleries, and literally hundreds of specialty shops offering
items that you won't find anywhere else in the world. In
Gatlinburg, you will find hundreds of specialty shops within a few
blocks of one another. Here at Gatlinburg's Village Shops, you'll
find a collection of over 25 unique shops in a charming Old World
setting. Shops include jewelry stores, eateries, crafts, art,
women's fashions, a wedding chapel, and many more. The developers
of this unique village traveled the world for ideas and found
roofing slates, carved doors, trim moldings, antique gas lighting
fixtures, and handmade bricks to create an authentic Alpine
ambiance that is a delight to explore. Pigeon Forge also has many
stores for your shopping pleasure and most have their own parking
areas. The Old Mill Village, found in Pigeon Forge, offers more
than 25 craft and specialty shops. Mountain crafts abound as local
craftspeople often create their treasures before your very eyes.
Visit the Apple Barn and Cider Mill and purchase apples, apple
products, crafts and gifts in their General Store. You can select
from 14 varieties of apples, see cider being pressed, eat at one
of their restaurants, taste apple candy, homemade ice cream and
their award winning fruit wines.
The variety can't be beat, and the outlet bargains will make
you wish that you drove a truck on your visit to the Smokies to
load up on the savings! As a long day of shopping winds down,
you'll enjoy relaxing those tired feet in your chalet or cabin's
hot tub or Jacuzzi.
