We always take home a box of chocolates, and yes, they are absolutely amazing! Everything is made fresh right there in the store, and you can really taste the quality. If you love chocolate, enjoy gift shopping, or are looking for a fun family-friendly place to visit, this is definitely the spot for you!

This is what I think antique stores should look like. Everything is displayed beautifully and the furniture is not rickety garbage. Not all pieces are old, but worthy of being placed with antiques. Great accessories, not just shelves of carnival glass. Someone mentioned the prices are higher than some, but my daughter and I felt like they were lower than antiques in Knoxville and much lower than antiques in Atlanta or Nashville. The prices may be high for Sweetwater standards, but it is by far the nicest store in Sweetwater. The town itself is cute and worth the drive.

Almost wall to wall people walking and shopping. My brother and I though were on a mission with limited time so we dodged and weaved politely in the crowds to make our way to the Knoxville Smokies store. The Smokies are a minor league team with an affliation to the Chicago Cubs. We love the older logo of the Bear with the word Smokies above and not so much of the newer logo. I did find a beanie and my brother found a visor. The team behind the counter were very kind and helpful as we added a couple of smaller items to our purchases. The Knoxville Smokies' official store sells on-field caps and new novelties, merchandise, collectibles, trading cards and supplies. Go Smokies!
