What Customers Say
"I love this lil store! It is well stocked and feels so much more hometown than the other grocery stores in the area. We have been going here for several years to stock the kitchen at the cabin. Their prices are comparable to the big box stores on most things while some items are a little higher. It is convenient to the cabin we stay in each visit. The staff is helpful and friendly. We were also happy to support their fundraising efforts for both people and animals in need!"
"Quick in and out. Had everything we needed. You can get citronella candles and bug spray at Ace hardware in the same place. Food city had bottle water bug spray and tuna in can paper towels is what we grabbed"
"Small grocery store. Fair prices. Good selection. The produce was fresh and prices similar to what I’d pay in my non-tourist, Knoxville Food City. The brand selection is limited, which is to be expected: it’s about 1/3 the size of a regular store. But if you’re looking to stock your rental cabin kitchen, need grocery basics, etc, you’ll find what you need. I also liked the selection of travel essentials for cheap. $0.69 toothbrush. $1 for a box of picnic cutlery."
