    Shopping in the Smokies

    Just in case you haven’t heard, the Great Smoky Mountains and the foothills surrounding them offer a veritable smorgasbord of shopping opportunities. From top name brand outlet malls to souvenir shops, you’ll find them and more.

    I’m partial to the Mom and Pop shops, and I’ll give you plenty of those from which to choose. But my lovely wife thinks you’d enjoy a few other bargain destinations that don’t quite fit into that category, so I’ve included them as well in my list of best mom and pop Smoky Mountain shopping destinations
